Development of key policies

I would like to talk about policy development in the six priority areas.

We will strive to foster endogenous industries that take advantage of the rich natural environment of Niseko Town, and promote cooperation between agriculture, tourism, commerce and industry, as well as the utilization of energy that is endowed in the region and the regional circulation of the economy. In addition, we will share the idea of community development and promote efforts toward the autonomy of the local economy through various collaborations with companies, universities, research institutes, etc. that we can sympathize with.
 

As for the environment surrounding the agriculture and livestock industry, the future of Japan's agriculture and livestock industry cannot be predicted due to the conclusion of international trade agreements such as TPP11, and the effects of global warming and domestic natural disasters, as well as the two years ago. The situation surrounding agriculture has become extremely severe due to sluggish demand in the food and beverage industry due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and soaring prices of crude oil and materials due to the turmoil in international transportation.

In the national agricultural policy, along with the three pillars of "Ensuring a stable supply of food, sustainable development of agriculture", and "promotion of rural areas" under the Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas (formulated in 2020, 2020), the government's "Carbon Neutral Declaration (2050 Target Year)" 2021 Green Food System Strategy was decided in 2021. Under this strategy, efforts are underway to reduce the environmental impact of the domestic agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries by reducing emissions by 1.CO2 by 2050, 2.reducing the amount of chemical pesticides used by 50%, and 3.reducing the amount of chemical fertilizer used by 30%.

In Niseko Town, in addition to the cyclical agriculture by identifying the agricultural policies of these countries and establishing a crop rotation system based on the clean agriculture and soil preparation that have been built up to now, and the dispersion of management risks due to the influence of the weather, Honmachi We will work to expand the consumption distribution network by taking advantage of the technological capabilities that enable multi-item production, which is also a characteristic of agriculture, and the strength of having a tourism consumption area.
At the same time, there is an urgent need to take measures to secure the shortage of agricultural workers, reduce agricultural work, and introduce efficiency-enhancing machines. We will continue to improve the environment so that we can do this.

In the 2022 we will continue to smoothly implement the national emergency farmland reorganization and maintenance project that is currently underway, strive to conserve excellent farmland, promote safe and secure "clean agriculture" that is in harmony with the environment, and accumulate the use of farmland. We will promote efforts to sustainably develop the Honmachi agricultural and livestock industry as a core industry with diversity in the future, such as improvement of agricultural infrastructure, promotion of highly profitable farming, measures to foster leaders, and promotion of sixth industrialization.
 

In order for Honmachi, an Eco-Model City, to achieve "zero carbon," we must urgently work on the utilization of forest resources such as town-owned forests and private-owned forests, and the regeneration of abundant forests.

This year, as a core organization promoting the "Forest Vision" formulated at 2021 degrees (2021), we plan to establish a regional forestry trading company to create a regional forestry trading company to grow forests, get familiar with forests, and utilize wood in the region as soon as the system design under consideration is solidified.

In addition, we will continue to request the national government to establish a legal system to transfer ownership to the desired local government for "land of unknown owner" that is an obstacle to forest conservation and resource utilization.
 

The number of visitors 2020 in Niseko Town (FISCAL 2020) was about 940,000 (about 54% compared to the previous year), and the total number of overnight stays was 300,000 nights (about 64% compared to the previous year), of which the number of foreign visitors to Japan was less than 200. 2021 degrees (FISCAL 2021), tourism-related businesses are in an even more severe situation due to two declarations of a state of emergency and four measures to prevent spread.
In the future, while keeping an eye on the infection and convergence of the new coronavirus, we will take appropriate measures in collaboration with tourism-related businesses in the town block, related organizations and business establishments, and the national government and Hokkaido.

Under these severe tourism conditions, Honmachi has begun full-scale efforts to achieve the Global Sustainable Tourism Association (2021) standards from FY2021.
In addition, we were selected as the "Global Top 100" last year and together with Kyoto City in Japan for the second consecutive year, and we were awarded the "Best Tourism Village" by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as "An Excellent Example of Tourist Destinations in the World". As a "sustainable tourist destination" that is gaining worldwide attention, Niseko Town will be chosen as a destination for travel in the future 2021 (FISCAL 2021), based on the Tourism Promotion Vision. In addition, as a financial resource for growing as a sustainable tourist destination, we will compile an ordinance for the introduction of an accommodation tax within the fiscal year.

In wide-area tourism, we will continue the activities of the "Niseko Mountain Tourism Liaison Council" in collaboration with the five towns, and also consider the future image of regional transportation in the "Niseko Tourism Area" that we are working on in a wide area with Kutchan Town and Rankoshi Town. We will promote the business by coordinating the utilization of hot spring areas.

Regarding the operation of the "Niseko Rule", which has become a major factor in the prevention of avalanche accidents, which is now called the sacred place of powder snow from all over the world, we will cooperate with Kutchan Town and each ski resort through the Niseko Annupuri District Avalanche Accident Prevention Measures Council. , We will strengthen support for sustainable development for the future.

Regarding the redevelopment of the "Michi-no-Eki Niseko View Plaza," which was formulated last year, we will start the basic design from this year. In addition, we will endeavor to properly manage and improve tourism-related facilities such as Kiranoyu and Goshiki Onsen Information Center.
 

With the spread of the new coronavirus, the local economy is becoming exhausted and it is becoming difficult to maintain employment.

In light of these difficult situations, the town will work in cooperation with related organizations such as the national government to support employment maintenance and promote migration. In addition, with the support of Otaru University of Commerce, we will continue to support "business seminars" and entrepreneurship consultation counters sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, aiming to secure services that are lacking in the region and expand the economic base in the region. In addition, we will compile the SME Promotion Ordinance (tentative name) at an early stage and support the "Kids Card Business" and "Kira Card Point Return Business" conducted by the Kira Card Association.

In addition, in order to prevent the townspeople from suffering due to unjustified solicitations, we have set up "Yotei Community Consumer Affairs Consultation Counters" in 7 neighboring towns and villages including Niseko Town (Kutchan Town is independent), and we will continue to work with related towns and villages. We will work together to promote our efforts.

In order to create a society where the townspeople can help each other and live a healthy and fulfilling life, we will make efforts so that we can live with peace of mind while comprehensively considering various issues of health, medical care, welfare, child-rearing, and education. increase.

We will strive to create an environment where we can do our best. In addition, in order to protect the medical care and health of children, we will continue to free medical expenses up to the age of 18 without setting income restrictions.

In the health examination, in addition to subsidizing the "newborn hearing test" that leads to early detection and treatment of hearing abnormalities in newborns, maternal and child health such as health checkups for pregnant women and infants, newborn visit guidance, and health guidance, infertility and infertility We will continue to provide subsidies for the treatment of illnesses and secure measures for obstetricians and gynecologists.

In addition, we will also carry out a home-visit postpartum care business by midwives according to the needs of users. In addition, we will promote the health promotion of children and reduce the financial burden on parents, such as paying the full amount of voluntary vaccinations for influenza and continuing medical examinations for 5-year-old children. To continue.
 

In order to ensure that the elderly and people with disabilities can live with peace of mind in the area where they are accustomed to living, we will enhance welfare based on the 8th Postshi Wide Area Comprehensive Long-Term Care Insurance Project Plan (2021, started in 2021), the 8th Elderly Health and Welfare Plan, and the 6th Disability Welfare Plan.

We will support the smooth progress of infection control measures for corona sickness at the special nursing homes for the elderly "Niseko Heights" and "Day Service Center" operated by the Niseko Welfare Association.

Various classrooms and lectures conducted by health nurses and dietitians will be held in the same way as the previous year, and the "Echinococcus extermination measures" implemented with the cooperation of the townspeople will continue.
 

In Honmachi, we are trying to control medical expenses by implementing health promotion, encouraging consultations for various medical examinations, health consultations and visiting guidance, but medical expenses for advanced medical care are increasing year by year.

The National Health Insurance shows the amount of national health insurance tax required by hokkaido Niseko Town based on estimates of medical expenses on all roads, and the "insurance tax rate" is determined based on this amount even in Niseko Town. With regard to the 2022 tax rate (fiscal 2022), the asset allocation has been abolished and the maximum amount of imposition has been increased to 30,000 yen according to the national system.

In addition, with regard to the "insurer effort support grant" issued by the government, the amount of the grant is determined according to the consultation rate of health examinations, etc., so "improvement of the consultation rate" is an urgent issue. .. From the perspective of maintaining health and early detection and treatment of illnesses, we will educate people so that they can undergo a health examination as much as possible.

With regard to waste disposal measures, since the seven towns and villages at the foot of Mt. Yotei cooperate to outsource the solid fuel treatment of combustible waste to a private business operator in Kutchan Town and have been smoothly transitioning, we will proceed with the abolition of general waste disposal sites that have been suspended and consider effective use. In addition, the amount of garbage has been decreasing due to the decrease in the number of tourists entering due to the impact of the new coronavirus last year, but it is expected that the amount of garbage will increase with the recovery of tourists.
