Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Human Behaviors During Disasters: A Mathematical and Geographical Approach

  • First Online:
Complex Systems, Smart Territories and Mobility

Abstract

This chapter proposes to generalize to a geographical context an innovative SIR-based model describing human collective behaviors in situations of disasters. The novelty of this work is to adopt a complex network approach in order to model the influence of the space on the transitions among one behavior and the others. This network model will be applied on the specific case of a tsunami on the French Riviera caused by a seismic event.
