In recent years, evacuation behaviors with other people have attracted much attention. The purpose of this study has been modeling of process of the residents' cooperation behaviors. The modeling follows from the fitness model which deals with the processes of all residents' cooperation behaviors while taking the macroscopic approach.
We develop the fitness model to clarify the cooperation behaviors under the typhoon disaster in the city of Niihama in 2004 by making an empirical analysis and validate the network formations and structures of the proposed model. The proposed model implies that the choices of the people to cooperate are affected by personal characters and the numbers of cooperation behaviors at that time.
