Abstract

This paper deals with evacuation decision making of people in the disaster area. In previous papers, the cascade model is discussed contagion of evacuation decision making. The work finds that local neighborhood and their connection of the sub network are necessary to contagion. In this paper, we deal with effect of evacuee on contagion or propagation of evacuation. We found that if agents watch the agents who evacuate for shelter, many agents come to evacuate because evacuating agents for shelter comes in field of vision for many agents.
