Development of disaster risk learning support tool using former edition maps and evaluation of its use in museum exhibition － Implementation in a special exhibition on the Typhoon Vera (the Isewan Typhoon) in 1959 －

Abstract

The use of former edition maps for disaster risk learning is effective, but requires proficiency of instructors. In this study, we developed a spatiotemporal GIS with many layers in addition to the former edition maps, and applied it to a special exhibition on the Typhoon Vera (the Isewan Typhoon) in 1959, Japan. And we evaluated the effectiveness of spaciotemporal GIS from the system logs and the questionnaire survey to the visitors. The results showed that a certain percentage of users used the spaciotemporal GIS for scenariobased learning, and this percentage increased in conjunction with the special exhibition. At the same time, the results of the questionnaire survey showed an improvement in the user’s satisfaction. From these results, the effectiveness of the method was confirmed.
