應用Open Source GIS於防災教育-以台南縣市颱洪災害為例

Abstract

Natural disasters such as typhoons and torrential rains caused huge property damage to Taiwan people each year. In this study, we’re trying to build a different type of disaster prevention education system and expecting to get better learning effect from it. Besides, we also would like to provide my research result for others to do further study and research. In this study, Open Source GIS (OSGIS) is integrated to Google Map to be electronic map platform. The platform is interacted to historical disaster events in text books, too. To verify the learning effectiveness and user will, a contrast system without electronic map function is designed in the experiment. We compared the disaster prevention knowledge grades experimental group and control group been tested before and after the experiment, let the two groups accept users’ will survey designed based on Technology Acceptance Model 2, and finally used open response questions to understand users’ feeling about how they feel while using the system. The experimental result shows that: no obvious difference of disaster prevention knowledge test grades between experiment group and control group exists before and after the experiment; no obvious difference between grades of experimental exists before and after the experiment, and same situation happens to control group. The result of the questionnaire shows obvious difference on following four aspects: entertainment, job relevance, output quality and result demonstrability. We know that users think electronic map is very suitable to be integrated to disaster prevention by experiment result. And, based on output quality and effectiveness verification, we know that the system built by OSGIS is approved by users. Although we still couldn’t make users will to use the system more, we still see that users are highly interested in using the system for we got better result of the answers experimental group replied to entertaining questions. We use free electronic map platform in this experiment to reduce the cost and also integrate the platform in disaster prevention education system to make users approve its quality and function. However, if one would like to apply it on studying, he still needs to do further research and improve to the platform to get better results.
