Über dieses Buch

This book focuses on geospatial information in living spaces, providing many examples of its collection and use as well as discussing the problems of how it is used and its future prospects.

Geospatial information science is in the process of evolving and being systematized, with the technical and usage aspects of the real world stimulating each other. This book systematizes the technical aspects of positioning; of geography, which manages and represents what is measured in units of earth coordinates; and of data science, which aims to efficiently express and process geographic information, all by introducing contemporary examples that are systematized with regard to their use in our living spaces. Examples of geospatial information used in almost all aspects of our lives, including urban areas, transportation, disaster prevention, health and medical care, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, culture, ecology, and topography, are presented, along with examples of their use in each area. One of the major features of this book is that it describes the use of data from earthquake disasters that is unique to Japan, as well as the use of open data and personal data in Japan, which is a trend that is gaining attention in many countries.

In this way the book systematically describes events and circumstances in living spaces that are revealed by the expression and analysis of geospatial data, with case studies and discusses their use in the IoT era.

Chapter 12. Utilization in Behavior, Ecology, and Cultural Property Surveys
Abstract
The miniaturization and power savings of information and communication devices and sensors have made it possible to record behavioral and physiological information together with geospatial information using devices that people carry all the time and sensors attached to animals. This information has been used for behavioral recognition and ecological research. In addition, to estimate the lifestyle and ecology of past eras, geospatial information was created from archaeological sites and archived in the field of archaeology. This chapter describes the technology and forms of information used to realize these objectives, along with case examples.
