Abstract
“Infrastructure tourism,” which is often talked about nowadays, involves a tour around civil engineering facilities as a sightseeing spot and is expected to lead to a revitalization of the regional economy. The utilization of civil engineering facilities as tourism resources in civil engineering administration provides an effective opportunity to deepen the public’s understanding of public works projects and also has great potential from the viewpoint of effectively utilizing existing stocks. The purpose of this research is to address issues and propose measures for utilizing civil engineering facilities as tourism resources, mainly from the viewpoint of the civil engineering administration of local governments responsible for the facilities. In this research, we conducted a case study, analyzed the current situation of the civil engineering administration, and examined the issues they face in utilizing civil engineering facilities as tourism resources from two standpoints, “Organization” and “Mechanism.” In conclusion, “Cooperation beyond administrative departments” and “Review of facility objectives and implementation of cost-effectiveness analysis” were proposed.
