“…Human responses to different earthquake shaking intensities have been reported in [11] [12] [13]. Similar to the findings of [11], variations in resulting behaviours in different intensities have also been observed in [14], [15], and [16]. The psychological and social responses to disasters in general are reported by [17].…”

A Multi-Agent System Approach in Evaluating Human Spatio-Temporal Vulnerability to Seismic Risk Using Social Attachment

et al. 2018

Social attachment theory states that individuals seek the proximity of attachment figures (e.g. family members, friends, colleagues, familiar places or objects) when faced with threat. During disasters, this means that family members may seek each other before evacuating, gather personal property before heading to familiar exits and places, or follow groups/crowds, etc. This hard-wired human tendency should be considered in the assessment of risk and the creation of disaster management plans. Doing so may result in more realistic evacuation procedures and may minimise the number of casualties and injuries. In this context, a dynamic spatio-temporal analysis of seismic risk is presented using SOLACE, a multi-agent model of pedestrian behaviour based on social attachment theory implemented using the Belief-Desire-Intention approach. The model focuses on the influence of human, social, physical and temporal factors on successful evacuation. Human factors considered include perception and mobility defined by age. Social factors are defined by attachment bonds, social groups, population distribution, and cultural norms. Physical factors refer to the location of the epicentre of the earthquake, spatial distribution/layout and attributes of environmental objects such as buildings, roads, barriers (cars), placement of safe areas, evacuation routes, and the resulting debris/damage from the earthquake. Experiments tested the influence of time of the day, presence of disabled persons and earthquake intensity. Initial results show that factors that influence arrivals in safe areas include (a) human factors (age, disability, speed), (b) pre-evacuation behaviours, (c) perception distance (social attachment, time of day), (d) social interaction during evacuation, and (e) physical and spatial aspects, such as limitations imposed by debris (damage), and the distance to safe areas. To validate the results, scenarios will be designed with stakeholders, who will also take part in the definition of a serious game. The recommendation of this research is that both social and physical aspects should be considered when defining vulnerability in the analysis of risk.

“…Spatial configuration of the built environment limits movement, especially after a disaster [16] [18] 19], and the visual perception range of pedestrians to open spaces (parks or wide streets) that constitute safe areas following an earthquake. The urban morphology channels pedestrian movement and facilitates social interaction.…”

Streetlights are very necessary for security of residents at night and for night townscape also in traditional towns, although they were originally unequipped when the towns were built especially before the middle of the 19 th century. and their installations have been not well-considered for traditional values of the towns in Japan. To plan streetlights in a traditional town, fundamental issues and procedures including residents' perception should be clarified. This research attempts to reveal problems on a traditional area as a fundamental study for installation of streetlights in traditional towns.

“…Urban morphology, spatial configuration, type, density and use, as well as the layout and the organization of the public spaces, contribute to make the access difficult to these areas characterized by multiple enclosures, narrow streets with their labyrinthine nature and a limited number of access routes, deriving from the defence strategies of ancient cities [ 4 – 6 ]. Moreover, old towns are affected by intense pedestrian and tourist flows [ 7 ], who may not be aware of their surroundings or how to reach a safe place, in case of evacuation [ 8 ].…”

The presented paper describes the ReSCUDE project, developed by the Department of Civil, Environmental, Land, Construction and Chemistry (DICATECh) of the Polytechnic University of Bari under the grant Attraction and International Mobility, of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. The project focuses on the evaluation of the effects of Slow-Onset Disasters (SODs), and Rapid Onset Disasters (RODs) on historic town centres. To this end, an integrated approach based on innovative geomatics, building techniques and advanced behavioural models, is being applied to the old town built area of Ascoli Satriano (FG) and Molfetta (BA) in the Apulia Region (Italy). Over the next three years, the ResCUDE project will allow to perform in-depth analyses on the historic built environment of the identified case studies, fostering the processes of its knowledge, assessment, control, management and design, in connection to the risks deriving from ROD and SOD events. The expected outputs will be useful to define possible scenarios for civil defence purposes and undertake actions aimed at risk mitigation.
