Abstract: Though use except traffic on streets is prohibited, people desire various uses such as open cafe on sidewalks to enrich street life. There are two difficulties to set open cafe. First is that the permissions of police and the government are required. Second is that it needs man-power for a municipality to carry out open cafe. So it is expected to study the possibility to manage open cafe on sidewalks by a municipality and local organization co-operatively. To discuss about the possibility that a municipality and local organizations can manage use of open cafe on street, this paper reviews the history of public facility management, analyzes the social experiment of open cafe in the downtown of Nagoya city which were made by the city of Nagoya and the organization of businesses along the streets, and compares the formations of open cafe experiments made in other cities.
