Study on Local Information Platform to Perform Integrated Management for Local Sightseeing and Disaster Prevention Information Diffused on Internet

In this study, we introduce the crawling/analyzing technology used to search information diffused on the Internet and propose a local information platform that can collect information on sightseeing, as a main item, in Suwa Area of Nagano Prefecture and manage dynamically various information including some events that the travel agents want to inform about and other reputable and interesting events that the users may transmit. This platform is also able to gather and deliver not only the abovementioned sightseeing information but also the disaster information, regardless of official/unofficial information, based on fault tolerance of the Internet with distributed nodes in an emergency. This paper describes our proposed platform and demonstrates operation of a platform integrated Internet model.
