 note = {It is important and useful to obtain spatial information about specific sites in order to construct databases on the locations and other attributes of the sites so that information may be shared and utilized in future studies in fields such as archaeology or geography. For the scientific study of cultural properties, positional information associated with cultural properties is one of the primary information, and we are obliged to record the locations of the sites accurately for making databases about investigations conducted in foreign countries as well as in Japan.
 However, obtaining positional information is not the only requirement for constructing databases. Maps and satellite images to serve as base map data, geographic information system（GIS）software to treat digital elevation model（DEM）and other spatial
data, as well as hardware like personal computers, image scanners, printers and plotters are also required. Recently we can purchase large-scale maps of many places in the world from domestic and overseas retailers via Internet. High-resolution satellite images for civilian use and satellite photos taken for military use in the past are also available now.
 Under the circumstances mentioned above, the Japan Center for International Cooperation in Conservation（JCICC）uses GIS to conduct collection, arrangement and dissemination of data on investigations of cultural properties abroad. In this paper, we（1） introduce the apparatus for GIS and data available at JCICC and（2）report about collection of spatial and other information by using PDA and GPS at the sites for use in future studies.
 We use ArcView GIS 3.2 and ArcGIS by ESRI for the construction of GIS database, and ERDAS IMAGINE for remote sensing studies and image processing. For utilizing these softwares, we have personal computers, a workstation, a plotter and a digitizer. Regarding the data, we obtain satellite images taken by IKONOS, SPOT and CORONA.
 For the field studies, we use Global Positioning System（GPS）receivers connected to a digital camera or a Personal Data Assistant（PDA）with GIS software for PDA, ArcPad. These two methods have their own merit. Digital cameras can store spatial information at the same time images of the sites are taken. If recording attribute data other than spatial data is desired, PDAs are superior to digital cameras because attribute data are input in the databases installed in a PDA on site.
 When planning and implementing the operation of GIS, frequent evaluation of cost performance is necessary. Considering the role of JCICC, we must construct a framework for effective collection, management and dissemination of information by GIS database for international cooperation on conservation of cultural properties in the world. We also consider it our duty to enable the utilization of the system not only by our Center but also by other sections in the Institute and hope this paper will be useful for that purpose.},
