Abstract(in English) Since human travel and contact cause infectious phenomena, it is crucial to understand the impact of travel networks on infection. In our study, we focus on the small-world nature and propose a multi-agent simulation in which we constructed a travel network by the Watts-Strogatz model. We confirm by simulation that small-world networks have two properties in the infection phenomenon, unlike random networks. The infection spreads when an infected person moves through weak ties, while the infection is suppressed when the infected person does not move through weak ties. Another contribution of our study is confirming the synergistic effects of small-world nature and vaccines. We also confirmed that travel through weak ties in a small-world network is less likely to spread infection if people take infection control measures.
