The generalization of Geographic Information Science on school education and lifelong learning

Abstract

It has become easier to obtain and visualize geographic information via the Internet. Map utilization and thematic mapping are also taking place in school education and lifelong learning. In the utilization of geographic information in the Internet age, it is important to develop applications directly related to maps that are easy to operate. In this symposium, we will review past efforts to generalize the use of geographic information through applications such as MANDARA, Konjaku Map, and Kashmir 3D, which have been generally accepted by the public.
