“…First, human behavior under survivability-critical states should be rigorously analyzed based on the data from actual disaster cases. Some studies have attempted to build databases of human behavior during evacuation (Bernardini, Quagliarini, & D'Orazio, 2016;McConnell et al, 2010;Weathernews Inc., 2011); however, no investigation has revealed the behavior followed under survivability-critical states. One only has A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T 29 several Japanese newspaper articles that explain how people survived under survivability-critical situations (see, for example, Obara (2011)).…”

“…walking speeds and evacuation flows) on earthquake evacuation behaviour can be identified in the existing literature. These data have been collected using different techniques, namely video analysis [55][56][57]; interviews and questionnaires [58][59][60]; direct observations during an earthquake [61]; and evacuation drills [62,63]. Despite the lack of a comprehensive literature review on human behaviour in earthquake evacuations, several key behavioural statements and qualitative data can be identified and used to program NPC behaviour during an earthquake.…”

Enhancing evacuee safety is a key factor in reducing the number of injuries and deaths that result from earthquakes. One way this can be achieved is by training occupants. Virtual Reality (VR) and Serious Games (SGs), represent novel techniques that may overcome the limitations of traditional training approaches. VR and SGs have been examined in the fire emergency context; however, their application to earthquake preparedness has not yet been extensively examined. We provide a theoretical discussion of the advantages and limitations of using VR SGs to investigate how building occupants behave during earthquake evacuations and to train building occupants to cope with such emergencies. We explore key design components for developing a VR SG framework: (a) what features constitute an earthquake event; (b) which building types can be selected and represented within the VR environment; (c) how damage to the building can be determined and represented; (d) how non-player characters (NPC) can be designed; and (e) what level of interaction there can be between NPC and the human participants. We illustrate the above by presenting the Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand as a case study, and propose a possible VR SG training tool to enhance earthquake preparedness in public buildings.

“…It is for this reason that a number of recent initiatives have sought to create video databases. Analysing images enables behavioural models to be defined and people's movements in such situations to be more accurately quantified (Bernardini et al, 2016b).…”

International audienceThe earthquake which struck the city of Lorca, Spain, on 11 May 2011 killed 9 people, injured over 300 and caused considerable damage, including one collapsed building. Streets near buildings were the main danger areas for people. This article proposes an dynamic ad hoc spatio-temporal method for studying individual evacuation after an earthquake. Its application to the Lorca case shows the spatial and temporal variability of individual exposure levels in the street during the hours following the shock. As yet little studied, human exposure deserves more attention, particularly in zones of moderate seismicity like the Euro-Mediterranean area. The results of this study could be helpful for enhancing the evacuation planning after an earthquake, stressing the specific dangers in the street
