Abstract
The homepages which carry digital maps have increased with the spread of the Internet. In recent years, there are a lot of homepages which provide various kinds of regional information on the digital maps using GIS. Therefore, this study aims at grasping the conditions of the provision of regional information using digital maps by the administratives, universities, research organizations and enterprises, and proposing a view about the possibility of synthesis of these regional information on the computer networks. The conclusions of this study can be summarized to the following two points. (1)Using the Internet, many digital maps are exhibited and regional information is widely provided on these maps. Nevertheless, the kinds of digital maps used for every organization differ. (2) It is necessary to maintain and circulate digital maps efficiently and to construct regional information networks by performing role assignment among the organizations.
