This article is important because there is no literature on emergency evacuation for mosques. According to the current fire regulation on Turkey, the evacuation of the modern era mosque structure, which was considered adequate for escape evacuation and escape routes, was determined as a result of the simulation study. The inadequacy of fire regulations for mosques and buildings for collection purposes has been identified and attention is drawn to the necessity of revision. Figure A. Evacuation view of the mosque in a safe evacuation time of 2.50 minutes (150 s) Purpose: It is aimed to test the reliability of emergency evacuation on a sample of modern Ottoman classical period type mosques, which are used frequently. Theory and Methods: The evacuation modeling approaches of the mosque located on the Ankara Mevlâna Bulvarı (Konya road), the emergency evacuation simulation results, and the fire safety calculations made according to the current regulation are compared and the reliability is tested. Results: Considering international safe evacuation, the users of the structures intended for collection should be able to evacuate the building within 2.5 (150sn) minutes in case of emergency. When this information is taken as a reference, it is determined that the building, which is considered as adequate and according to the current regulation, is insufficient as a result of the simulation. Conclusion: According to the current fire regulations, the evacuation of the modern period mosque structure, which was considered adequate for escape evacuation and escape routes, was determined as a result of the simulation work. For this reason, revision is required in the fire regulations for mosques and buildings.
