Summary In this research, field surveys were conducted with the aim of clarifying slipperiness of coastal facilities which have high accessibility to the water edge and natural rocky shores. Slipperiness of the surfaces of the coastal facilities is evaluated by coefficient of slip resistance (C.S.R.) and the sensory evaluation. Measures for improving safety of users or visitors of seashore were discussed based on the result of field surveys and related analysis.
