Abstract

A set of questionnaire is designed to investigate the panic related psychology and behaviors of evacuation crowds in subway emergencies. Field survey at a subway station in Nanjing, China is conducted. Based on 141 valid questionnaire samples, the correlations between some personnel characteristics and the evacuation panic are investigated. It is found that the gender, the education level and carrying-on luggage have strong correlation with the panic related psychology and behaviors, while the age and the safety knowledge do not have so strong correlativity as previous work indicated. Besides, different opinions of this work and previous work about the influence of education level on the evacuation panic are also compared.
