In case of evacuation in an underground mall, evacuation routes originate in shops and halls and terminate in the access areas of stairs to walkways. In this research, shop layout and access area environments are considered and evacuation simulation was performed for an underground mall called ESCA located in the west region of Nagoya Station. It was found that by setting up regions where evacuees are not allowed to stand still and goal lines that early evacuees are encouraged to reach, smooth and trouble free evacuation can be realized.
