Abstract: In an electromagnetic environment analysis system, an image creation unit creates an image for displaying information relevant to a measurement value in a position associated with a measurement position of each of the measurement values. A partition judgment unit judges a partition corresponding to the measurement position of each of the measurement values in a plurality of partitions forming a display range of the information relevant to the measurement value in the image, based on position information. A display information determination unit determines information relevant to the display of the partition, based on the measurement value corresponding to the partition. In a case where two or more measurement values measured at timings different from each other correspond to one partition, the display information determination unit calculates a representative value from the two or more measurement values, and determines information to be displayed in the partition, based on the representative value.
