| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this research is the development of a small device which is attached to wild animals like monkeys to make dose rate maps of forests. The device is equipped with GPS, dosimeter, altitude sensor and data logger. The key technical issue of this research is measuring precise altitude of the monkeys because these animals live in spaces above the ground level. In spite of testing and experimenting with some feasible ways, however, we failed to resolve this issue. On the other hand, since we have already succeeded in developing the device without the altitude sensor, we can consider an alternative research with a new scenario by changing the proposed target animal from monkeys to others like wild bores in the future.
