[G03-01] Terrain Awareness Education in Junior High Schools and Universities Using a Terrain Representation Method "IN-YOU-ZU”map
Keywords:Earth Science Education, terrain awareness, I N -YOU-ZU
Topographic maps with contour lines are generally used for terrain recognition. Recently, however, students and pupils often use Google maps, but they do not seem to have much awareness of the unevenness of the terrain because there are no contour lines. In the earth science experiment at the teacher training department of the university, students are asked to draw a water system map in order to develop a three-dimensional sensitivity to topographical maps in order to understand geological maps, and to be aware of ridges and watersheds.
In this study, we asked students to work with IN-YOU-ZU maps, which are microtopographic representations of terrain that emphasize the three-dimensional effect by dividing the unevenness of the terrain into Yin and Yang. The results showed that the unevenness was easier to understand than the previous general topographic maps that used contour lines. This is due to the fact that recent advances in laser surveying have made it possible to create a variety of topographic representations, one type of which is the yin-yang map. The original IN-YOU-ZU map is represented in color, but I report that the practice at the university also resulted in ridges and valleys being easily identified even when color was printed in black and white.
In addition, in the first grade of the affiliated junior high school, In addition, I will report on the practice of having students understand topographical maps using Yin-Yang diagrams and topographical maps using Yin-Yang diagrams in a 3D virtual space using a personal computer.
At the time of submission, it will be before the practice at the junior high school, and the results of the practice will be reported in detail at the time of presentation.
