When people become unable to return to home at natural disasters, some people aim to return to home on foot, other people hope remain in temporary stay facility on the other hand. The purpose of this paper is to reveal that what factors affect to the difference in these behaviors.
In this paper, we organized the four type factors that affect the behavior selection in difficulty going home, and analyzed which factors affecting the behavior selection. As a consequence, we revealed that past experiences, sex, and weather conditions or time in disasters affect the behavior selection.
In this paper, we include the factor analysis of past experiences which researchers had paid less attention to in previous studies. As a result, we revealed that people tend to same behavior selection based on the experiences when huge natural disasters occur again. That is, people who went home on foot in past tend to take same homeward behavior. In the same way, people who went towards temporary stay facility in past tend to take similar behavior selection as well.
