Continuing to the previous papers on the assessment for disposition of existing hospitals in Tomakomai City, partial separation due to railroad and river in the city under earthquake disaster is considered. Multi-Agent Simulation echnique is adopted in order to trace patients' movements from their houses o hospitals under partial separation conditions. An interception ratio is leffined by percentage of people who cannot cross the separation. Simulations are done changing the interruption ratios from 20 to 80% and the effect of partial separations is discussed. When the ratio of interception rises, it is demonstrated that the situation worsens.
