Abstract:
Repeat tourists tend to gather information on their destination through mobile devices. For this reason, it is necessary to have a regional information platform that allows users to see all the information on an area in a unified format. One-segment local services in Japan are broadcasts targeted at mobile devices; however, these broadcasts are limited to a narrow area. We set out to use this service, which is currently in an experimental phase in Japan, for a large-scale event (the Lake Suwa fireworks show). Results of our experiment showed that the visitors found that this service is very useful, but also showed that it is necessary to provide the information that visitors really want. As the next step in this research, we intend implementing a regional information platform to find out the information that visitors want. And also disaster prevention information system will be implemented.
