| Description |
We believe GIS would be powerful tools for humanities studies. However, in many cases, GIS tools in humanities area have been just viewers that overlay some kinds of data simultaneouly. Our session "Humanities GIS toward New Paradigm" is intended to show the HGIS (Humanities GIS group) comprehensive trials from GIS tools to analysis.
The presentations are ordered from tools to analysis. "GIS Tools for Geographical Data Management and Analysis" will present our base GIS tool that will be used as a platform for the session presentations. "Creation and Application of Japanese Historical Gazetteer" will present not only the record structure of the gazetteer but also its application to ontological studies. In "A GPS Nagivation Tool for Field Surveys in the Humanities," an integration of GIS and GPS for social archaeoloy will be presented. "Reconstruction of Historical Landscape" will deal with analytical approach to topographic data. Finally, "Introduction to Thang Long - Hanoi Project on Area Informatics" will present the ambitious working on creating and building up a new discipline; Area Informatics.
