In recent urban park renovation projects, many private business projects are expected to join in. To invite these projects, it is necessary for city governments to prepare application guidelines to carry out public offering. But these types of guidelines were new and difficult to the most staff of city governments not having enough experiences to prepare. In this research, we carried out interviews and questionnaire to the staff who experienced preparation of application guideline, and analyzed contents of guideline documents, in order to get useful information to unexperienced staff of similar projects. As a result, we found out that they made more efforts to explain about ‘city government’s expectation to applicants’, ‘reason or purpose of introducing private business project and role of the park in the area or role of the facility in the park’, ‘rules and regulations that applicants have to obey’ and ‘items that city government can offer to applicants’, while ‘Urban park act’ and ‘The guidebook of Park-PFI’ don’t put emphasis on these items. According to these researches, it is important to give city government staff these types of information to successfully invite private business project in urban parks.
