Abstract

<p>With increased consciousness towards health and nature, a growing number of middle-aged and elderly people are taking walks in the Satoyama landscapes using the areas’footpaths. In the Satoyama areas, which are areas that spread over gentle hills, people often get lost at branching points. Therefore it is important to improve people’s map reading skills. This study developed a self-guided walking tour application for navigating the Satoyama footpaths. It combines AR technology and navigation functions for the Tama Hills located in Machida city, Tokyo. We also conducted a questionnaire survey with 32 middle-aged and elderly people in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the application and to compare the results with the effectiveness of conventional paper guide maps. The study was able to confirm the effectiveness of the self-guided tour application based on users’ feelings and experiences using the application.</p>
