Title:

Accounting for Spatial Correlation in Tsunami Evacuation Destination Choice: A Case Study of the Great East Japan Earthquake

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

This article focuses on the estimation of a tsunami evacuation destination choice accounting for spatial correlation among alternatives via a Spatially Correlated Logit (SCL). In the context of tsunami evacuation, an allocation parameter is specified not only as a function of adjacency but also of altitude similarity, thus accounting for similar risk levels among alternatives. Using data from a survey conducted on survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake and ensuing tsunami, empirical findings suggest the existence of considerably high degree of spatial correlation among alternatives, that in the case of tsunami evacuation is better captured by an altitude based allocation parameter.
