Japan often suers from natural disasters. When a natural disaster occurs, public sports facilities are generally used as shelters. The introduction of the Designated Manager System shifted the management of many public sports facilities to the private sector. Some public sports facilities introducing the Designated Manager System are not designated as shelters, but designated managers may operate such facilities as shelters depending on the damage and refugee situation.ResearchAreasComplex systemsKeywords□Sport■Public sports facilities■Lifelong sportsRelatedresearchSDGRole of Public Sports Facilities at Times of DisasterAssistant ProfessorRyoko AkiyoshiUndergraduate School of Physical EducationDepartment of Sport & Leisure Management56
