We developed system using the technology of GIS(Geographic information System), VRCVirtual reality) and Internet for supporting an understanding of space, a sharing of consciousness, and a transfer of an intention in collaborative works with citizen participation. The results are as follows. l.GIS was effectively utilizable as a tool which transmits the opinion and image between participants correctly. Especially, old photograph and panorama VR contributed to quick agreement greatly. 2. VR was greatly effective in the understanding of the future image of a town. However, since VR displays a concrete image, it may guide a participant's intention.
