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)
・Providing from June,2011 ・ATR-Creative co.ltd “Chizu burari” series
Shinsai Kioku Chizu https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/zhen-zai-ji-yi-de-tu/id432869141?mt=8
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
Teachers association of Miyagi prefecture called me.
Talk about GIS and education for disaster defense!
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 ・・・
Sendai Station

Residential・・・
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.
Like an iPod This can stock a map in large quantities. The user can make and transmit a map via a personal computer.
【Problem】 The machine has not fully spread (Application is free)
An application cannot be used although there is also a prefecture which gives all the students a machine.
【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
Analog→Digital There is no change on “map using “scene.
Mobil able Make by myself Share by internet
Digital Atlas can change
I interesting
The lesson does not Change soonly.
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
