Development of Multimedia Materials for Regional Studies

本研究的目的是开发一个多媒体数据库（多媒体材料），可用于中小学的区域研究。具体来说，我们计划数据库由两部分组成，即长崎的历史和当前事件。今年，我们根据前一年收集的材料完成了数据库。第一部分：长崎历史这一部分包括四个历史教学软件，即“长崎凯斗”、“长崎凯斗第二版”、“长崎爆炸”和“长崎原子弹”。《长崎凯斗》介绍了融合欧洲、中国和日本文化的长崎生活文化。“长崎Kaidou Ver.2”根据Siebold（Philipp Franz von Siebold，1796-1866）的书“Edo-Sanpu-Kikou”（Reise nach dem霍费des Sjogun im Jahre 1826），模拟了Siebold（Philipp Franz von Siebold，1796-1866）到江户（1826）的旅行。“长崎Burabura”是介绍以“奥昆地祭”而闻名的长崎市的Suwa神社等历史景点的指南。2）第二部分：长崎时事本部分包括三个社会研究软件，分别为“长崎的自来水厂”、“长崎的污水系统”及“长崎的渔业”。“长崎的自来水厂”包含了长崎市自来水厂的年表和许多统计数据。“长崎的下水道系统”是以与前者相同的方式构建的，并且从环境教育的角度添加了内容。“长崎的渔业”介绍了长崎市的渔业，从沿岸渔业到水产养殖。遗憾的是，上述材料不能在附近的学校使用，因为这些材料的运行系统与这些学校不匹配。所以我们把其中的一些用HTML翻译成WWW页面，并在互联网上发送。

The purpose of this study is to develop a multimedia database (maltimedia materials) available to regional studies in elementary and secondary schools. Concretely, we planed the database consisted of two parts, that is, history and current events of Nagasaki. This year, we accomplished the database based on materials gathered in the previous year. Its contents are as follows.1) Part 1 : History of NagasakiThis part consists of four history teaching softwares, that is, "Nagasaki Kaidou", "Nagasaki Kaidou Ver.2", "Nagasaki Burabura" and "Nagasaki Atomic Bomb". "Nagasaki Kaidou" introduces the life culture of Nagasaki that mixes European, Chinese and Japanese culture. "Nagasaki Kaidou Ver.2" simulates the Siebold's (Philipp Franz von Siebold, 1796-1866) travel to Edo (1826), based on his book "Edo-Sanpu-Kikou" (Reise nach dem Hofe des Sjogun im Jahre 1826). "Nagasaki Burabura" is a guide of such historic spots in Nagasaki City as the Suwa Shrine that is famous for "Okunchi Festival". "Nagasaki Atomic Bomb" is a multimedia material for peace learning concerned with Nagasaki Atomic Bomb.2) Part 2 : Current Events of NagasakiThis part consists of three social studies softwares, that is, "Waterworks in Nagasaki", "Sewerage System in Nagasaki" and "Fisheries in Nagasaki". "Waterworks in Nagasaki" contains the chronological table and many statistical data of waterworks in Nagasaki City. "Sewerage System in Nagasaki" is constructed in the same way as the former, and furthermore is added the content from the environment education's point of view. "Fisheries in Nagasaki" introduces fisheries in Nagasaki City from coastal fishery to aquaculture.Unfortunately, the above materials could not be used in the nearby schools, since the running system for these materials mismatched that of those schools. So we translated some of these into WWW pages by HTML,and have sended on internet.
