Creating environmentally friendly Niseko

For Honmachi, where rich nature and landscapes support the economic infrastructure, we believe that living and protecting the natural environment and living in harmony with nature will enhance the value of Niseko Town and lead to autonomous town development. Building a mechanism to circulate local resources and creating a rich Niseko lifestyle is important for future town development, and take measures to reduce the environmental burden based on the "Eco-Model City Action Plan". To go.

In order to protect and nurture the excellent natural environment of Niseko Town, based on the Basic Environmental Regulations, the Second Environmental Basic Plan, the Global Warming Prevention Plan, etc., we will promote initiatives to realize "Niseko, an Environmentally Creative City" . Eco-Model City The final year of the Action Plan (FY2014-FY2018) will be reached, and work will be conducted toward the formulation of the second action plan (FY2019-FY35).

The Annupuri area, Moiwa area, and Higashiyama area have been developed as resort areas of the Niseko Mountains, and construction of hotels and villas is underway. In recent years, it has attracted worldwide attention as a good resort area, land transactions are actively carried out, and construction of hotels and condominiums is planned. In order for Niseko Town to further develop as an international resort in the future, we will firmly operate systems such as the National Park Law, quasi-city planning, Landscape Ordinance etc. to create a Niseko-like landscape for development and construction activities. We will strive to induce development in an orderly manner and maintain a good landscape.

Countermeasures against Waste Disposal In Seven Municipalities at the foot of Mt. Yotei, we commission consignment of burnable waste to solid fuel treatment to private business operators in Kutchan. In Honcho, the volume of garbage is also increasing with the increase of tourists, so in order to inform about the reduction of garbage and the thorough separation of sorted waste, in addition to preparing guide books newly, measures to reduce waste not burnable We will continue to recycle used small household appliances this fiscal year.

Regarding final disposal sites in Honmachi, since 2007, only bulk garbage and incombustible residue crushed at 'Ranetsu-machi bulky garbage disposal facility' has been landfilled, but the landfill remaining capacity is decreasing. For this reason, we plan to landfill nonflammable garbage and bulky garbage from landfills in a controlled-type final disposal site owned by a private business operator in Kutchan Town, and also to reduce the amount of landfill as much as possible from this year, including sorting and crushing We will decide to consign them all at once. In addition, regarding the existing final disposal site in the town, we will maintain and manage to prolong life and plan to respond to emergencies such as disasters.

About Honmachi's "basic waste disposal plan", it is a 10-year plan with the fiscal year ending in fiscal year 2004 as the first year, but since five years have elapsed since the formulation and there are also fluctuations in the treatment method of general waste I will revise it.
Regarding hygiene measures, we have completed a complete renovation last year as a "crematorium" which was a long-standing concern as "Niseko Saya" and we will consider examining the installation of a cemetery to which the townspeople desire.
With regard to human waste treatment, we will continue to cover the maintenance cost of the Yotei Sanitation Center by Yotei Mountain Environmental Sanitation Association. However, in order to conduct operations stably and continuously, we will increase premium toilet treatment fee for business temporary toilets premium We will add a fee.

As an "Eco-Model City", we will promote smarter renewable energy and regional energy and create global warming countermeasures in order to create a recycling-based community that maximizes the use of abundant local resources.
This year is the final fifth year of the Eco-Model City Action Plan, and with the support of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, conducted a study on the heat potential in the area around the station and a study on the heat supply system. We will formulate an “ Eco-Model City Action Plan”. In addition, we will conduct energy audits for business operators and follow-up after diagnosis to reduce CO2 in the tourism field.

In the forestry industry, we will coordinate with the Niseko Town Forest Plan and other forest promotion measures to ensure that the multifaceted functions of forests, such as global warming prevention, national land conservation, and water source recharge, are exerted in a sustainable manner. In addition, we will strive for proper management, such as promoting and promoting the maintenance of private forests and the deforestation of town-owned forests utilizing the national and town-specific subsidy systems.
