Recently several local authorities have just begun providing local residents with school classes closure information by utilizing GIS in anticipation of residents’ preventive actions against influenza epidemic. In this paper, the authors try to verify the effects of prompt feedback of GIS-based school classes closure information on residents’ reaction through conducting a questionnaire survey in Miki city, Hyogo prefecture. The survey results show that residents’preventive actions are further promoted by giving information on a school district map rather than by giving information without such a map.
