Since our societies have diverse people and built environments, studies must be needed to develop systems assuring people's safety in potential emergent situations. We have developed a multimedia guidance system available in evacuation. In the present paper, we examined the effect of map presentation types on evacuation behavior. The results showed that sequential evacuation paths indicated on the map almost cancelled the negative effects of map rotation and alignment on the course of evacuation behavior, and that these map conditions made it difficult for evacuees to construct a spatial image like a survey map.
