点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We discussed on how we can return research outcome to the local society, mainly based on a case study in Laos. In order to frame the discussion in practical basis, we set two social groups as targets ; village and local university. A small museum was constructed in the rural village where research was conducted. Research outcome was exhibited in the museum and villagers evaluation was investigated. It was found that the exhibition for illiterate people needs to be developed. GIS seminar, which had the highest demand, was performed in the university. As a result of examination of the curriculum, it was suggested that feedback of geographical knowledge should be located in multi-scale phenomena and comparative perspective.
