Development of spatial decision making in community-based society

本研究试图透过资讯科技，厘清当地民众参与社区化社会的过程。为了达到这一目的，我们通过收集、整理、分析、可视化、流通和共享地理空间数据的方法和实证调查，重点研究了三项任务：1)实地调查信息技术对他们日常生活的影响；2)开发面向空间决策的地理信息系统软件；3)建立当地公民参与过程的方法学，以获得更好的社区生活环境。我们构建了筑波更安全的上学路线参与网络-地理信息系统。重要的是，通过共同拥有当地地理信息，通过当地公民的合作来改进这种系统。

This research tried to clarify the participation process of the local people in the community-oriented society using the information technology. To attain this purpose, we focused on the three tasks through the methodological and empirical investigation of collecting, arranging, analyzing, visualizing, circulating and sharing geospatial data: 1) field survey on the impact of information technology on their daily life, 2) the development of spatial decision making-oriented GIS software, and 3) the establishment of methodology for the participation process of local citizens for the better community living environment. We constructed the participation web-GIS for safer schooling routes in Tsukuba. It is important to improve this kind of system through the collaboration of local citizens by the co-ownership of local geographic information.
