The first of our research theme is constructions of the internet database system on traditional villages, dwellings, and houses. We have huge collection of pictures and drawings of over 600 villages all over the world which we collected throughout more than 25 years research activity. The second is to make the database system shared not only among the researchers who study on traditional dwellings, but general users who take up with them. It is a reason why we made the system accessible from WWW/Internet using every type of platform and web browser application.The first year, we mainly get along with digitizing pictures and drawings using a film scanner and an image scanner. We made filing their data in hard disks. The second year, we designed the relation schema to construct RDBMS(Relational Database Management System) for the traditional villages. After the design, we mounted the database and made some applications for retrieving and browsing the database.The result of this study is the internet web site called "The World Village Database (WVDB)", and URL is ‘http://www.wvdb.org'. User can be connected with database server just accessing this website.
