Abstract
Map is one of the most appropriate and synthetic ways of understanding the features of Hakone volcano: landform, surface formulation processes, distribution of volcanic ejecta, and also geo-historical development. Topographic map can show basic geographic information and is useful to many kinds of professional such as civil engineers, forest scientists, naturalists, and land conservationists. Nowadays, the development of remote sensing and GIS have added further valuable information to classical maps. Bird’s eye view map made by satellite image or shading image gives unique and useful views of landscape. Shadow maps, shape maps, and geologic maps are also useful, but in general they are not popular. Therefore, we have tried map-integration among bird’s eye view map and those maps of other types.
