 note = {application/pdf, 論文(Article), In the last decade, the development of geographical information system (GIS) has provided a powerful insight into research in several academic fields. A look at the electronic library service CiNii reveals that the number of articles is increasing year by year, not only in geography but also in various academic fields, such as public health, pedagogy, and criminology. The present study outlines the functions of GIS, especially mapping, and indicates their manner of utilization for public security. Recently, the public security policy has moved in a direction such that it has begun to concentrate on delivery and planning at the community level and not the prefecture level. GIS constitutes a powerful tool that can support this movement; however, the successful and meaningful use of GIS depends on the data sources. Unfortunately, most of the published data constitute those reported by large administrative areas. If data at the community level are available, the results obtained using GIS could be contributed to policy making.},
