A STUDY OF ESTABLISHING TECHNIQUE OF SOCIAL PROBLEM VISUALIZATION FOR DEVISING SOLUTIONS

Abstract

It is difficult to find effective solutions to social problems, because social problems consist of diverse values. From this point of view, it is desirable to establish the technique of handling diverse values for devising solutions. In this article, we attempt to build a 3D visual exploration tool, named "Knowledge Structure Viewer", to assist the users in viewing target social problem from any point of view which users like. Knowledge Structure Viewer can visualize configurationality in social problem, and is available through the Internet. By using this, users can grasp the structure of social problem, and thus finding a promising solution.
