Abstract

A shopping mall where many people gather is at high risk when an earthquake occurs. Analysis of human behavior during an earthquake is one of the important issues in considering disaster planning. In this study, human behavior during an earthquake was analyzed by using video movies of security cameras in shopping malls during the Great East Japan Earthquake. As the result, human behaviors in a shopping mall are strongly correlated with the seismic intensity. Besides, the effects of the location of exits and individual attributes are found.
