When a large scale disaster happened, life-line as public services, e.g. electricity, telephone, and water-line, may stop. It is important, in such situation, to acquire and serve information for grasping circumstance precisely. In this paper, we propose a novel ad-hoc networking model that applies large-scale areas. We call this "large-scale ad-hoc networking". This networking model aims to use in disaster area, mainly and has applied its ah-hoc networking's advantage. Moreover, our proposal model uses social human relationship to decide routes of each message. The result of large-scale ad-hoc networking simulation, we get several evidences about large-scale ad-hoc networking and acquire the implementability about it. Concreatly, the result of simulation shows a usability of social human relations to decide routing and a possibility of reduction of network traffics in large- scale field.
