Abstract
This paper aims to propose a method which can evaluate the capacity of a sightseeing area. At first, we defined the capacity as the maximum level of visitors which can be guaranteed a suitable sightseeing activity. Secondly, an evaluation method to estimate the capacity of a sightseeing site is proposed. This method is based on the stochastic user equilibrium assignment simulation technique with elastic destination choice because a traveler may change his destination and route according to the congestion level en route and at his original destination site. Finally, this method is applied to the Aso area and its applicability is examined.
