Policy 2 Value the air, water and earth. (2)

(2) Create a comfortable and safe housing / residential area

Current situation and issues

(1) Improvement of obsolete public rental housing

"Public housing" for the purpose of eliminating housing difficulties of low-income people, "Specific public rental housing" constructed for the middle-income earners from the fiscal year of 1996, "Single public" Housing Housing ", which contributes to the provision of a stable living environment life. However, since many aged apartments are conspicuous among public housing for low-income earners, rebuilding is required to provide a safe and comfortable living environment life.

(2) Enhancement of effective maintenance and management

Considering the trend of the future population of the town, we think that it is not in the situation to increase the number of the house except for the specific public rental housing where you want to live in, so we emphasize the effective utilization of the existing number of public housing .
In the future, effective maintenance and management, such as renewal of various facilities targeting public rental houses for more than 10 years, is required.

(3) measures against snow

In Niseko Town in heavy snowfall, how to interact with snow is a major point in living.
Roads are snowing snow by road managers, and traffic is secured during the winter. For sidewalks as well, we are implementing snow removal within the extent possible for national roads and roads to ensure pedestrian safety. However, with regard to town roads, the road width is narrow and it is difficult to secure snow cover space.
Even in the future, we must strive for planned snow removal in order to secure safe transportation.

Direction of future efforts

(1) Formation of long-use public housing

In welcoming the aging society etc, we will endeavor to maintain and maintain properly so that the housing can be used for a long time.

(2) Maintenance of housing and residential areas to improve the surrounding living environment

We will promote the development of public housing and residential areas while fully considering the improvement of the living environment in the vicinity such as greening.

(3) Implementation of planned sewage snow etc.

In addition, we will strive to maintain and maintain properly the snow protection facility installed as a countermeasure to places with many blows.
