Abstract

In this paper, we deal with evacuation decision making of people in the disaster area. By threshold model, we discuss about whether all agents decide evacuate or not. It has been confirmed that not all people in the affected area evacuated during the Great East Japan Earthquake. But, many evacuation simulations treat that all people evacuate. In the precious work, on the assumption that all people decide evacuate, we treated about the needed time to evacuate all people if psychological conditions exist at the time of disaster. In this paper, we deal with the condition that not all people evacuate and focus on contagion of evacuation decision making on real map. We found that for contagion of evacuation decision making, local neighborhood is needed and connection of sub network is needed.
