The designated manager system was introduced due to the revision of Local Autonomy Law in 2003. The system covers urban parks as well as various public facilities owned by local governments. It appears to bring a turning point to park administration in face of an age of financial deterioration. From a standpoint of user-oriented park management, this study considered impacts of introducing the system through comparison of some groups classified in by types of parks, invitations (open or closed), and corporations (public interest corporation or privately owned corporation) in nationwide park user satisfaction surveys before and after the system introduction. The result showed that user satisfaction surveys reflected public opinion effectively. It confirmed changes around the system introduction and competitiveness in open invitations of a part of public interest corporation groups.
