I would like to know your opinions on this word:
"objekt", e.g. as in "evakuačný plán daného objektu" ... Objekt as a place...
This is taken from an emergency plan of an airport and I've used 'building', property, headquarters,... interchangeably...
Thank you all in advance...

building
I think you are pretty safe with building as a general term. Instinct tells me to be a bit more careful with property because it implies private ownership. Headquarters again might be too specific - depends what building you are talking about. I think maybe just stick to building unless you are absolutely sure about the specific function of the building in question.

In view of what Peter rightly says about "objekt" including open areas, I think Martin's suggestion of "site" is probably a better solution

Or maybe "premises" as Slavomir suggests

: As long this can be applied to a house with adjacent grounds or a set of buildings...? All these might be 'objekt' too.

: Sorry Charles, but evacuation of the object - e.g. airport or railroad station or nuclear power station or some institution includes also open areas not only buildings or premises.

Good point Peter. In that case "building and surrounding area" or something like that. I still just have never heard "object" ever used in English in the sense you are suggesting

: building je stavební objekt a nemusí to nutně být budova

: Pozor, riesime letisko a na letisku je aj mnozstvo objektov ktore nemozu byt nazvane stavebne. Napr. rozne prostriedky radiotechnickeho zabezpecenia, ktore su dokonca MOBILNE a maju svoj evaluacny plan.

object
I think you can use term "object".
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Michal Zugec
: Podla mna urcite objekt, pretoze evakuacny plan sa tyka aj stojanok, stanic PHL, atd. ktore urcite nespadaju pod pojem building, pretoze su na otvorenom priestranstve.

Ďakujem. Tiež si myslím, že objekt je širší pojem.

Charles Stanford
: Sorry Peter but I don't think we would use "object" in this context in English. If you were being asked to evacuate an airport and you heard "please leave the object" then you would get a lot of very confused passengers. Not used in English in this sense!

Thanks Charles. But I think that the term "object" is wider term than premises or building because evacuation plan includes also open areas.

: "Object" does not fit within this context. Generally, the term is unlikely to be used to refer to buildings, etc.

building, property, site...
je fakt nutné postupovat podle kontextu. většinou se tím myslí budova, ale může to být i včetně pozemků. Zkusil bych třeba i site, je to snad trochu gumovější.
