crowd dynamics

Crowd dynamics refers to the study of how individuals behave and interact within a group, particularly in situations like concerts, festivals, or emergencies. It examines factors like movement patterns, group psychology, and how external influences, such as space and social interactions, affect crowd behavior. Understanding these dynamics helps improve safety, manage crowds effectively, and enhance experiences at large gatherings. By analyzing how crowds form, disperse, and respond to stimuli, planners and safety officials can design better environments and protocols to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of all participants.
