The purpose of this study is to suggest an evacuation analysis model considering juvenile patients' movements in clinic areas and ward areas in a general hospital. The difference of spatial configuration between the clinic area and the ward area and the variation of user types can affect the evacuation movement considered as an interaction between environmental property and user competence. In the situation of a disaster, hospitalized juvenile patients are attended with difficulties of voluntary evacuations and need adults’ supports. The suggested analysis model showed that the increase of adult supports resulted in the rapid overcrowding in the area near the cores including stairs and elevators. It also showed that the increase in adult supports resulted in a progressive increase in user density. In the analysis model, the results appeared intensive in the ward area.
