Abstract
It is time to review organization and management at environmental education facilities due to a call to diversify services at these facilities, including reshuffling administrative areas and reducing certain services. In this paper, we consider some of the important points regarding management of the facilities based on knowledge gained through our various projects relating to museum management. First, we explain how educators′ ideas and know-how are indispensable to developing museum content and mechanisms that effectively bring out curiosity in our visitors. This allows for self-learning to happen and encourages people to visit the facility over and over. Secondly, we explain the necessity of developing human resources capable of carrying out environmental education and management of facilities in a local community by networking with other facilities and strengthening overall cooperation within that locality. Finally, we mention how important it is for attitudes to constantly keep evolving into a well-managed organization that responds to social conditions so that the facility always remains up to date and appealing to its audience.
