To provide a visitation schedule formulating apparatus for formulating a visitation schedule for a plurality of points such that the number of points visited each time is uniform and a visitation area is localized.SOLUTION: A visitation schedule formulating apparatus for formulating visitation schedules for a plurality of points includes: a position information storing unit for storing position information for each point; a visitation schedule storing unit for storing one or more visitation schedules satisfying visitation requirements for each visitation requirement defined for each point; an assignment pattern generating unit for generating a plurality of assignment patterns when assigning to each point the visitation schedules satisfying the visitation requirements of each point; and a visitation schedule formulating unit for formulating the visitation schedule for each point by selecting one assignment pattern based on calculating results of a first index value indicating a degree of variation in the number of visitation points at each visitation timing from the first visit to the last visit and a second index value indicating a degree of wideness of a visitation range at each visitation timing for each assignment pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】毎回の訪問地点数が均一で訪問範囲も局所化されるような複数地点の訪問スケジュールを作成する。【解決手段】複数の地点の訪問スケジュールを策定する訪問スケジュール策定装置であって、各地点の位置情報を記憶した位置情報記憶部と、各地点に定められる訪問要件毎に、訪問要件を満たす１以上の訪問スケジュールを記憶した訪問スケジュール記憶部と、各地点の訪問要件に当てはまる訪問スケジュールを各地点に割り当てる際の割り当てパターンを複数通り生成する割り当てパターン生成部と、各割り当てパターンについて、初回から最終回までの各訪問タイミングでの訪問地点数のばらつきの程度を示す第１指標値と各訪問タイミングでの訪問範囲の広さの程度を示す第２指標値とを算出した結果を元に一つの割り当てパターンを選出することにより各地点の訪問スケジュールを策定する訪問スケジュール策定部と、を備える。【選択図】図６
