Project Title: Administrative Boundary Digital Map after the Meiji Period

Funding : Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Grants-in-aid for Scientific Research)

Project Summary

At present, Japan has created numerous statistical books which could provide valuable information on the development process that took place in the country.  Not until recently,  the utilization of statistics in regional analysis required enormous work processes to obtain statistical analysis i.e.,  restriction on data access, absence of maps,  differences in time period and area of analysis, etc.  On the one hand, such circumstances have improved gradually because of the spread of GIS and the distribution of digital databases.  Specifically, GIS has largely contributed to the shortening of the mapping process and the development of high-level statistical analysis.  In view of this, the release of pre-World War II map data and digitalization of statistical data contributes to the development of historical statistical GIS.  On this regard, from 2004 thereafter, the Division of Spatial Information Science of the University of Tsukuba Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences opens to public a download service facility consisting of various statistical data and administrative boundary map data, free of charge.
