街×空港｜City × Airport｜2022/05/18

大正大学の授業「街の因数分解」で空港を取り上げた。2019年に開業したみやこ下地島空港だ。既存の宮古空港との差別化のためにターゲットを観光客を中心にしてターミナルビル自体をリゾートホテルのようにしている。思わずビールが飲みたくなる空港だ。そのコンセプトも面白いけれど、経済面も興味深かった。飛行機が毎日１便増えると年間で数十億円の経済効果があるという。しかしこのようなマクロ的な取り組みも大切だけれど、併せて新たな観光開発、宿泊施設、PRなどミクロ的な活動も欠かせないという。しかもいろいろなレイヤーでの取組みを地道に続けることが必要らしい。単に空港をつくるだけではダメで、付帯と思えることの方が大切なんだなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I took up the airport in the Taisho University class "Factorization of the City". It is Miyako Shimojishima Airport, which opened in 2019. In order to differentiate from the existing Miyako Airport, the terminal building itself is like a resort hotel, with tourists as the target. It's an airport that makes me want to drink beer. The concept was interesting, and the economic aspect was also interesting. It was said that if the number of flights increases by one every day, it will have an economic effect of billions of yen a year. However, while such macro activities are important, micro activities such as new tourism development, accommodation facilities, and public relations are also indispensable. Moreover, it seems necessary to steadily continue efforts at various layers. It's not enough to just build an airport, it's more important to do what seems to be ancillary. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
