Abstract Research institutes that have national research facilities and equipment are continuously emerging equipment that is not well used to the loss of purpose due to termination of research projects. Although it is possible to use in such equipment, in many cases, they are disposed of for the purpose of administrative convenience of research institutes. And even if research institutes dispose of equipment in compliance with complicated administrative procedures, researchers or research institutes can not be provided many advantages. Therefore, in the viewpoint of national level for the research facilities and equipment management, if it is judged that there is no utilization plan of equipment during a certain period of research institutes owned equipment, transfer to the institute planning to utilize the equipment. It is planning to promote a recommendation system that can increase the circulation and utilization rate of the equipment. To enable researchers or research institutes to induce a change of thinking from ownership to share a research facilities and equipment. And we are also planning to promote an economic incentive system so that they can voluntarily and positively dispose equipment with a declining utilization rate. In other words, in the viewpoint of national level, it is planned to provide mileage points to excellent institutes that transferred the number of equipments with a low utilization rate to other institutes. The research institute can be supported at the maintenance cost of research facilities and equipment with accumulated mileage points.
