By using our originally developed “geographic information system (GIS)” as an experimental material, we carried out the experiment in the system operation with protocol analysis, which lead to the conclusion that a personal digital assistant (PDA) is a tool expectable to improve the elderly people’s operation achievement levels based on their operation achievement in experiment theme and ...
