While the economic growth of regions continues to shrink due to the waning of manufacturing industry, a lot of local governments have sought potential resources for strengthening the attraction of tourism sites. The problem is that many of tourism sites are not properly capable of responding to the diversification of tourists’ needs and changes in trend. Starting with 12 places in 1969, 228 sites have been designated as tourism sites, and about 69.8 percent of them were designated before the 2000s. It means that most of them are necessary to rebuild or remodel in terms of physical, functional and environmental aspects. In spite of necessity to regenerate tourist sites in decline, there are still insufficient academic progress and policy consideration. This study aims to develop indicators for diagnosing the decline of tourist sites and apply them to designated 228 tourist sites in order to analyze whether or not they are in decline and the severity of decline. Based on reviewing the cases to develop similar indicators and the measurability of data, five indicators for this study are finally extracted. The result shows that 85 of the total tourism sites are in decline and 39 of them are in severely declining stage. Local municipalities, in which 17 of 39 tourism sites in severe decline are located, are also experiencing serious decrease in overall conditions such as population, local income tax, and the number of companies and workers in the tourism sector.
