| Summary | In this study, applicability of tsunami evacuation simulation is discussed in such a way as to compare between a result of the simulation and a result of questionnaires of evacuation activity to evacuees during the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami. In spite of the assumption on the route choice problem, we may conclude that it is possible to apply this tsunami evacuation simulation to evacuation activity on foot at a nearshore area in a bay of ria coast. |
