Abstract
This study aims to examine the status quo of information about Japanese National Parks on the websites, and discuss how we can raise people's recognition of National Parks. In this study, the site-access quantity, search rank, and contents of each website related to National Parks were surveyed mainly, that are provided by many organizations of some groups. To add to them, the difference of National Park information between some groups of park-sites was surveyed. As a result, unbalance of contents between each group of sites, relative lowness of recognition of park-sites, and effectiveness of using sites of “local administrative organization” to raise recognition of National Park by providing information for users were shown. In addition, possibility to raise recognition of sites by various information, and importance of sharing roles of each park-site were suggested in this study.
