In this study, we analyzed the movement of tourists using a compact and affordable pyroelectric sensor for the “Kumano Pilgrimage Routes”, registered as a World Heritage Site in 2004. The pyroelectric sensor was installed on “Daimonzaka” and “Waroudaishi” , the former of which is a must-see landmark of the “Kumano Pilgrimage Routes” . “Waroudaishi” , meanwhile, is located along rugged mountain routes. The survey was conducted from 23 April, 2010 to 16 June, 2011. Compared with the actual measured value, we defined a value in the form of a corrected count value using a pyroelectric sensor to record the number of tourists. Compared with “Daimonzaka”, the number of tourists in “Waroudaishi” was low. We proved that many tourists take sightseeing buses and enjoy the world heritage characteristics. Accordingly, their territorial movements can be determined thanks to the pyroelectric sensor being installable in many areas, as well as compact and affordable.

The literature on time management studies have two paradigms: the effects and the ability of time management. The effects of time management have been classified according to three standpoints: (a) the relationship between the Time Management Scale and other scales, (b) the time management process model, and (c) the effects of time management training.
