Abstract. The most significant measure in reducing tsunami disaster is an
early evacuation. The aim of this study is to developments a dynamic
evacuation model with using simulation of Agent-Based Modeling and
Simulation (ABMS). The Shelter Plan Analysis is also conducted in this study
to establish applicable evacuation places. All analysis in this study based on a
geographic information system (GIS) data such as shelter location, evacuation
networks, housing and other information. The shelter plan analysis is the
methods to evaluate an applicable shelter. The important variable in this
analysis is nearest accessibility based on the existing road from the residential
area to the evacuation building. In order to set input data for this analysis, we
conducted a questionnaire survey to the local people in Pacitan, which is a
typical populated coastal city in Indonesia, located in East Java province. The
agent-based model is according to multi criteria decision making (MCDM) for
internal and external factor. The concept of MCDM was used to develop a
weighted suitability decision matrix in a simulation's model. We also conducted
the field survey in this city, especially focused on the condition of evacuation
shelters and evacuation networks, in order to evaluate the shelter plan on GIS
as well as to conduct the simulation of the agent-based model.
1 Introduction
This paper describes the development of an application of agent-based model simulation for
tsunami evacuation in Pacitan City, Indonesia. Evacuation is a common strategy for
handling emergency situations. Evacuation is a process in which threatened people
displaced from dangerous areas to evacuation places, in order to reduce the health and life
vulnerability of affected people. During disaster response, evacuation should be conducted
accurately, and in a hurry.
As a result, preparation, testing and training of a proper evacuation plan required as a
part of disaster preparedness. However, evacuation planning is a complex problem
involving many behavioral and management facets (M. Saadatseresht et al. 2009). Sherali
