Regional Revitalization by ICT in Shiojiri city, Nagano
【
Wild Animals Damage Prevention
】
Due to wild boars’ damaging rice paddy, decrease of rice crop and expansion of abandoned farmland get intensified in Shiojiri city, Nagano
Effect of physical measures such as setting electric barrier or trap is determinative
Wild Animals Damage Prevention using Sensor Network System
Shiojiri city set harmful animal detection sensors and trap sensors for capturing harmful animal around rice paddy at Kitaono area
If detection sensors detect wild animals, a. wild animals are scared by siren sound of flash light, b. detection information is mailed with map to farmer and hunting club using cloud computing environment. It contributes to quick scaring or capturing harmful animals.
If traps sensors detect wild animals, detection information is mailed with map to farmer and hunting club using cloud computing environment. It contributes to quick riding captured harmful animals. （y2012-y2013: six harmful animals captured.)
