"The Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong, 1941-1945: A Spatial History Project" research team utilised GIS technology to create an interactive map and database, integrating historical materials from Chinese, English, American, and Japanese sources to reconstruct the military and political apparatus, economic activities, and public health conditions during the three years and eight months of Japanese occupation, presenting the urban spatial transformation of Hong Kong during this period.
