ESTBLISHMENT OF MICHIMORI TRAINING COUSE FOR DEVELOP INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS AND EFFORTS TO UTILIZE MICHIMORI CERIFIED PERSONS

Abstract

 Nagasaki University Infrastructures Lifetime-Extending Maintenance Research Center is striving to train infrastructure maintenance engineers. In 2008, Nagasaki University opened a MICHIMORI training course to nurture experts in the maintenance and management of roads ahead of the rest of the country.
 We have developed a curriculum for MICHIMORI training courses for infrastructure maintenance and management for civil engineers and have continued human resource development. Until now, the activities of MICHIMORI certified people were mainly volunteers. In 2015, MICHIMORI training course was approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It was recognized as qualification for infrastructure maintenance. In addition, the range of activities expanded.
 In this paper, we summarized the implementation system of MICHIMORI training course, curriculum, achievement evaluation standards, number of trainees etc. In addition, we report the future policy of MICHIMORI certified persons.
