A Learning Model of Disaster Prevention Cooperation on Region Frequently Struck by Disaster

Abstract

*This research represents a learning model of cooperation behavior for disaster prevention to study the basic relationship between disaster and social reaction. Multi-Agent system on virtual space, where disaster periodically happens and agents learn behavior strategy, is set up. Agents pursue for property selfishly or cooperate for disaster based on their own parameter of cooperation. Then some parametric studies on disaster characteristics and behavior rules were carried out. The results showed that cooperation emerges when disaster scale is moderate. If disaster scale is too large or too small, agents prefer short-term gain. Regardless of such condition, cooperation generates when agents restraint each other by penalty on uncooperative agent. Cooperation and penalty criteria increase as disaster scale gets large. This implies a point in common with some former studies in humanities and literature.Keywords : Multi-Agent, Disaster, Disaster, Cooperation, Social Dilemma, Catastrophic Risk -2143 -This research represents a learning model of cooperation behavior for disaster prevention to study the basic relationship between disaster and social reaction.
