GIS-based Digital Regional Geography for the Historical City of Kyoto

作为数字区域地理学的一个案例研究，本研究旨在积累、分析和传播关于历史名城京都的各种基于GIS的地理空间数据。本研究的一部分成果于2011年3月出版了《京都的历史GIS》一书。本研究还利用我们构建的京都町屋（京都的传统木屋）GIS数据库和数字化的“大比例尺京都地图”，对地理信息科学的最新研究课题之一--定性GIS进行了探讨。此外，本研究还通过互联网和智能设备向公众开放了基于GIS的京都地理空间数据。

As a case study of digital regional geography, this research aims to accumulate, analyze and disseminate various GIS-based geospatial data about the historical city of Kyoto. A part of our research outcomes was published as a book entitled Historical GIS of Kyoto in March, 2011.The research was also to explore Qualitative GIS, one of the latest research topics in Geographic Information Science, by using the Kyo-machiya(traditional wooden houses in Kyoto) GIS Database and digitalized "Large-scale Maps of Kyoto City," both of which we constructed. Furthermore, the research made GIS-based geospatial data of Kyoto open to the public through the Internet and smart devices.
