A FUNDAMENTAL STUDY OF THE SUPPORTING SYSTEM FOR THE CHOICE OF A VISITING AREA BY PREFERENCE BASED VISUALIZING.

A study of the Echigo-Tsumari art triennial

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a supporting system for choosing visiting area based on visualization of individual preferences. We performed to make the supporting map for choosing visiting area by following three steps. First, individual preferences on sightseeing were quantitatively extracted by AHP (analytic hierarchy process). Second, attractiveness of the area in the research zone was estimated. Finally, area attractiveness was visualized by kernel density estimation method. The maps were appreciated by the participants of the experiment which we carried out in Echigo -Tsumari Art Triennial site.
