In this research, geothermal introduction potential evaluation was conducted in consideration of environmental and social conditions using GIS, and issues to introduce geothermal power generation in Japan are examined from the perspective of both the nation and selected prefectures in the future. As a result, it was suggested that 9.3% of geothermal introduction potential may increase due to deregulation of the latest national parks in the national review. Furthermore, it was shown that the geothermal introduction potential of the same degree or more exists in the vicinity of the hot spring resort. In Akita prefecture and Oita prefecture, social risk of development accompanied by population fluctuation decreased while social risk in tourism economic side tended to increase.
