Abstract
Abstract: It is significant to understand the patterns of human mobility and social contacts for epidemic prevention and control. This paper analyses the regularities and the statistical properties of human behaviors at the perspective of human dynamics. Various models of human mobility and social contacts are comparatively investigated , including Brownian movement, random walks, spatial network, Motifs, bipartite graph model, gravity models, contact rate, the distribution of daily contact number, social networks, etc. The models of human behavior changes in the course of epidemic outbreak are also analyzed. The challenges of modeling human mobility and social contacts are discussed. The models discussed are the foundation of studying epidemic prevention and control in the field of public health emergency management.
