The purpose of this study is to discuss the current state and issues of public facility management in local public organizations after the formulation of a comprehensive public facility management plan, targeting municipalities that have already formulated a comprehensive public facility management plan in Fukushima Prefecture. This study clarifies that there are many local governments that formulate individual facility plans providing only facility policies and have not implemented and have no plan to implement relocation projects. Based on these findings, this study points out that it is necessary to develop institutional conditions that promote formulating plans to reduce the amount of floor space of public facilities and improve the quality of public service through relocation of public facilities based on integral operation with urban planning and collaboration with residents.
