<p>　Of the public facilities owned by basic municipalities, the facilities of elementary and junior high schools account for more than 40% of the floor area.However, school facilities also function for out-of-purpose uses such as disaster prevention in a region.</p><p>　Out-of-purpose uses of school facilities include social education, sports promotion, elections, disasters and emergencies.Many of these functions are selective or optional utilization of school facilities by local residents and others.</p><p>　This paper aims to examine and discuss the nature and role of project evaluation in the reorganization of school facilities.It is the basis for building an evaluation method for public facility restructuring that contributes to regional sustainability.</p><p>　The travel cost method with movement to school facilities as a proxy market and the hedonic price method using real estate prices reflecting access to school facilities are suitable for comprehensive evaluation of multipurpose uses.However, in either case, several problems arise because distance and accessibility to school facilities are subject to evaluation.For one thing, preference for school facilities as school facilities is also evaluated, so it can be difficult to screen from non-purpose uses.For example, differences in land prices by school districts may represent preferences for school academics and quality of households rather than preference for non-purpose use.Also, school districts of elementary and junior high schools are generally within walking distance, so differences in access time and distance for travel expenses for non-purpose use rarely differ.</p><p>　As described above, a method that can comprehensively evaluate, and distinguish from other use purposes （school education） of school facilities is needed for evaluation of non-purpose uses.Therefore, a discrete choice method that can describe multiple elements making up the utility function and can estimate the evaluation from the relationships between utility and selection is suitable.</p><p>　For elementary and junior high school facilities owned by the municipality, we conducted a questionnaire survey of local residents on the utilization of facilities.</p><p>　Regarding the binary choice of using the nearest school or not, we performed logit regression using several attributes of the questionnaire responses as explanatory variables.</p><p>　Regarding the use outside the purpose of school, household income, sex, participation in school events, hope for survival of school, area of gymnasium, and area of buildings have explanatory power.</p><p>JEL Classifications:D61, H83, R53</p>
