In this study, we clarify the deployment process of the Wi-Fi spot in Sounkyo area in Kamikawa town, Hokkaido, which is an international tourist site located in a mountainous area. By examining the case of Sounkyo, we reveal that the installation of Wi-Fi spots, which can be used by many people, is influenced by whether or not broadband is being developed in an area. In tourist spots in places where it is difficult to deploy and maintain broadband, implementation of the broadband deployment policy by the national government and local governments is necessary, which is expected to lead to the advancement of international tourism. Les voyageurs souhaitent accéder à l’Internet via leurs smartphones pendant leur séjour au Japon. Cependant, le haut débit et le Wi-Fi, qui permettent la connectivité Internet, n’ont pas été déployés dans tout le Japon. Cet article s’intéresse au processus de déploiement du Wi-Fi dans la ville de Kamikawa (région de Sounkyo, Hokkaido), site touristique international situé dans une région montagneuse. |
