TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - A method of evaluation based on plural values for design and implementation of solutions to social problems JO - Sociotechnica A1 - Yamaguchi, Kentaro A1 - Yamaki, Shintaro A1 - Shirato, Satoshi A1 - Horii, Hideyuki SP - 132 EP - 139 VL - 2 IS - N2 - In the event that a solution to social problem is developed and introduced to the public, an evaluation based on plural values should ideally be conducted amongst people of diverse standpoints who are affected by the problems, on whether the anticipated social changes are desirable or not. Self-organizing Maps (SOM), developed by T. Kohonen, make it possible to conduct such kind of evaluation and identify the trends in attributes. In this article, we confirm the effectiveness of utilizing SOM to analyze conflict of diverse evaluations, through the case study of Real-time Diagnosis Navigation System. Additionally, based on the results of case study, we attempt to suggest desirable policies for developing and introducing Real-time Diagnosis Navigation System.
