Abstract

This work deals with agent-based modeling withina geographical environment, it reviews concepts on Multi-agentsand Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is oriented toperform a simulation that considers aspects of human behavior(through agents) during an evacuation, considering real restrictionsof the environment in which they are developed (GIS layers).This simulation is done in the GAMA1 platform, which allowsus to easily implement models based on agents and geographiclayers. It allows us to work with the attributes of the layers andto define constraints based on them.
