1.Introduction

Recent own research

The first trial report of “Digital Atlas” by iPad (March.30 2013)

The association of

Japanese Geographer

Three method ①Using PDF and pictures ②Using Google Earth ③ Developing original application “Chizu Burari”

“Digital atlas” is not similar to

“Digital textbook”

Company is developing.

There is no Geography

Creating materials by PC GIS

Study with tablet GIS

Daily use “System”

Maps can be moved from PC to tablet as soon as possible.

<We need a system>

Running in poor communication environment

With small money as much as possible.

Is there such application like a dream?

Here you are!

2 Introduction of an epoch-making application)

Purpose To support the “Stricken area “ by offline digital map-view system.

They opened the system for general user. Everybody can update maps and add information for northern Japanese.

But ,there is no reaction for three months.

The presenter has started to support this applicatin

Collecting

Tourist maps

It’s good chance! I went to Sendai city with iPads (23pieces by rental).

3 Field trial at Sendai

August 8 and 9

Day1 Indoor work shop Day2 Morning Field work in the residential area.

Day2 Afternoon Field work at ”Yuriage”,Natori City (The place which suffered serious damage from tsunami)

TOKYO

Sendai

population 1.03million

An ordinary residential section ・・・

It’s Difficult to arrange the excursion!

GIS data and iPad can do!

Present location

The age of development

1960’s

1970’s

1980’s

1990’s

1970’s 1960’s

Old topographical map (Users can change deferent age maps)

Present location

We were able to see the geographical features interestingly even if here was an ordinary residential section.

The participant was very glad.

Yuriage area Natori city

The map showing the height of a flood zone and a wave .

Altitude classification map (made by GIS Software)

Sendai Airport

A gap of a topographical map (it creates before an earthquake) and altitude classification (it corrects after an earthquake) is seen.

Map says 2m high

Latest DEM data says under 0m

Dangerous zone (The place where reorganizing a house was forbidden )

6m

Here is out of border is there safe?

No. so many houses are disappeared Agreement does not consist of residents to reorganize or receive compensation.

Users’ Response

It’s very useful tools! We can change

different maps quickly.

Work in “Off line “ environment is good

Simple GPS using Wifi is not effective.

Users’ Response

It is more better if user can add a new map and information by iPad directly

The story or teaching method is needed.

4 Consideration

“Digital Atlas” For activation of geography education

For development of next-generation teaching materials

It is very promising.

The iPad and Original Application

It is not substitution of the map of

paper, or a personal computer.

This is completely new geography teaching materials.

【Problem】 The machine has not fully spread (Application is free)

【For overcoming①】

To continue the work in Northern Japan

How do we do for a Education for disaster?

How to do? For surface of disaster? 現場の声

Difference of since

Decision making is Good method

Why Sendai City opened This maps at 2013?

Older people gather this town.What is happen next earthquake?

6m

How to use the “no construction area”?

How much costs to recover the town?

【For overcoming②】

Try to another OS The local government

must not permit the tablet’s OS for schools.

We have to wide the “geography education” field

Not only a lecture at classroom. Not only for our yong students

5.Conclusion

It is needed to change teahing method and candidat

It is good idea,]

Geography education For adult Citizens

Tohoku,or northern Japan has big and much data.

! Application for “Tohok

So many data Free to use.

Active teachers’ Meeting.

l Change a

Nationwide.

After the earthquake

The northeast has grasped the future of the geography education of Japan!

I would like to continue supporting.

That’s over Thank you for listening
