This study aims at renovating the actual evacuation control system against tsunami disaster into more effective one by understanding the nature of human behaviors and their interaction effects. Considering the diversity of behaviors of evacuees, this research proposes a multi agent simulation model, where each of the evacuees with different characters and properties is expressed as a computer module called an Agent with functions of communication and decision making. Applying this simulation model to the Enoshima seaside area, it has been confirmed that an appropriate evacuation control method leads to a better result in saving lives of the evacuees.
