Kim et al.(2015) constructed a citizen seismic network (CSN) in Yokohama utilizing MEMS accelerometer and RaspberryPi.
To make the network denser, since the network largely rely on people who put the sensor unit in their house, it is important tomake sensor unit useful for them not only when earthquake occurs but also in daily life. For this purpose, we developed various
applications for the network linked with social media. In the daily life, utilizing a camera module, the sensor unit can for security
and/or pet monitor, and when earthquake occurs people can check inside of their house through the internet. Once the unit detect
quake it will tweet to let them know that their house felt it. However,if it does not tweet anything even there are earthquake
nearby, people might wonder what happened to their house. So we let sensor units make conversation to figure out who felt
and did not felt using the network. Utilizing this application, we believe our sensor network enhanced its value. We will keep
developing such applications so that make it more useful and let people welcome to put the sensor unit in their house.

The San’in Kaigan Geopark is located in the west of Japan, spanning approximately 120km from its easternmost point, atKyogamisaki Cape in the city of Kyotango, to its westernmost point, on the Aoyakaigan Coast in the city of Tottori, and measuring
a maximum of 30km from north to south.
In terms of administrative jurisdictions, the Geopark spans a total of three cities and three towns in 3 prefectures (Kyoto
Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, Tottori Prefecture).
Sharing and generating information is difficult in such a large active geopark. Then, we decided to use a social media to shareand generate information smoothly. We created fan page of the geopark to Facebook. We have established an administrator ineach area to generate regional information.

Facebook is very useful for the exchange of information because it has many capabilities such as file upload and event planningetc. Since 2012, utilization of facebook for management of four working groups in the North Ibaraki Geopark is carried out. We
will present the results of the working groups for geotuor and product development.
