Abstract(in English) In this paper, we focus on data visualization associated with geographic information in the smart city. We propose a more feasible and portable technique of fine-grained map visualization. More specifically, we develop a Web service called FigMap4SC (Fine-Grained Map-coloring Web service for Smart City). FigMap4SC provides a service of creating a choropleth map from them. In FigMap4SC, all geographic data and map drawing operations necessary for coloring a city maps are hidden under the service. Moreover, FigMap4SC exposes Web-API, to which external applications can provide the dataset. As a result of them, users can quickly and easily visualize them and concentrate on their analysis. We have implemented a prototype of FigMap4SC, currently covering Kobe city area only. The Kobe City Fire Department staff who aimed to optimize ambulance operations evaluated this service. They mentioned that this service could visualize quickly and easily than an existing application.
