県は「未来へ伝えたい秋田のインフラ50選」と銘打ったリーフレットを作成し、県内の小、中学校や建設産業、観光関係各団体、道の駅などに配布した。秋田北地方関係は、計10カ所を掲載。

　小、中学生や保護者、一般県民などに県内各地の代表的なインフラ資産を広くＰＲし、建設産業への理解を深めることで将来的な入職者の拡大につなげるのが同リーフレット作成の目的。

　秋田工業高等専門学校の葛西誠准教授を委員長に、教育、建設（土木、建築）、観光、報道の各分野から6人で構成する選定委員会が昨年5月に初会合を開いてインフラ資産のコンセプトや選定基準などを決めたのを皮切りに、作成作業を進めてきた。

　決定したインフラ50選の内訳は、建築物と「その他」が各14件で最も多く、以下、農業施設8件、橋、トンネル各5件、ダム4件と続く。安全な訪問、見学とともに、建設産業のイメージアップにつながると考えられる施設の中から「学べる」「役に立つ」「愛される」「映える」「オンリーワン」などの視点で選定。

　秋田北地方からは鹿角市の市歴史民俗資料館、旧関善酒店、小坂町の康楽館、旧小坂鉱山事務所、十和田ホテル、大館市の大館樹海ドーム(各建築物)、北秋田市の森吉ダム、翔鷹大橋、根子トンネル、そして北秋田市−仙北市間を運行する秋田内陸縦貫鉄道のあわせて10カ所を選んだ。

　リーフレットは50選についてそれぞれ写真付で施設概要や見どころなどを紹介しているほか、現地に足を運びやすいようにマップでの案内も。各施設への来訪者が撮影した画像や動画を投稿できるよう、公式インスタグラムも開設した。

　県は「今後は小中学生等へＰＲ冊子（インフラ資産マップ）を配布するなど、インフラ資産の魅力を広くＰＲし、小中学校の社会見学等や地域の観光資源と合わせたインフラツーリズムとしての活用を目指している」とした。　(午前零時)

The prefectural government created a brochure titled "Akita's Infrastructure 50 Selections to Pass On to the Future" and distributed it to elementary and junior high schools, construction industry organizations, tourism-related groups, and roadside stations throughout the prefecture. The brochure features a total of 10 locations from the northern region of Akita.

The purpose of creating the brochure is to promote the representative infrastructure assets in various locations throughout the prefecture to students, parents, and citizens, and to deepen their understanding of the construction industry, which is intended to lead to an increase in future job applicants.

The selection committee, which consisted of six members from the fields of education, construction (civil engineering and architecture), tourism, and media, led by Associate Professor Makoto Kasai of Akita National College of Technology, held its first meeting in May of last year to decide on the concept and selection criteria for the infrastructure assets. Since then, the committee has been working on creating the brochure.

The breakdown of the selected 50 infrastructure assets includes 14 buildings and 14 others, followed by eight agricultural facilities, five bridges and tunnels each, and four dams. The committee selected facilities that can contribute to the image improvement of the construction industry, with a focus on "learnable," "useful," "lovable," "visually impressive," and "one-of-a-kind" perspectives, among others, from among the safe facilities that can be visited and viewed.

Ten locations were selected from the northern region of Akita, including the City History and Folklore Museum, the Former Sekizen Sake Brewery, the Korakukan in Kosaka Town, the Former Kosaka Mining Office, the Towada Hotel, the Odate Jukai Dome (all buildings), the Moriyoshi Dam in Kita-Akita City, the Shokaku Bridge, the Nekko Tunnel, and the Akita Inland Vertical Railway, which operates between Kita-Akita City and Semboku City.

The brochure features a photo and overview of each of the 50 selections, as well as highlights and guidance on how to visit each location via a map. To allow visitors to post pictures and videos they took at each facility, an official Instagram account was also established.

The prefectural government aims to "further promote the appeal of infrastructure assets through distributing PR brochures (infrastructure asset maps) to elementary and junior high school students and utilizing them as infrastructure tourism in conjunction with social tours of schools and regional tourism resources."　　　　　　　 (12:00 AM)
