Understanding Hatsukaichi-Shuku post town in the Edo period using old drawing map stored in GPS&PDA

Published: 26 September 2010 Publication History

Abstract

We developed the software for PDA (Personal Digital As-sistant) equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) to understand Haruskaichi-Shuku post town which prospered during the Edo period (1603~1867). There are very few old, traditional houses remaining in the region, so the town at that time could be experienced by walking through using the corrected old drawing map stored in PDA. People inter-ested in the history and culture of the region have found the technique to be very useful.
