| Research Abstract |
In recent years, researchers of area studies collect various types of data using mobile devices, such as a digital camera, a GPS and so on, on field works. Furthermore, many researchers take notes by handwritten texts at the same time. Because there are too many collected data and handwritten texts, and they are not in unified formats, the researchers cannot edit and integrate these data efficiently for classification and analysis. In this research, I have developed prototype systems for supporting field works. By the systems researchers can manage collected data and handwritten texts and transform them into geographic data efficiently. In this research, the proposed systems were evaluated by several actual researchers of area studies on specific field works, and their effectiveness was verified.
