Policy 3 Give peace of mind by supporting families and the local area. (3)

(3) Create a town that you can feel safe everyday and live in peace

Current situation and issues

(1) Extension of healthy life span

Regional medical services in the town are held at the general hospital in Kutchan-cho adjacent to Niseko clinic. Also, as health promotion from infants to elderly people, we support lifestyle habit improvement including various checkups such as human docks. However, as medical costs are on an upward trend when entering an aging society, preventive measures for diseases will become more important in the future.
Therefore, by improving dietary habits of individuals and communities, promoting health of the body and mind from early childhood, and promoting living wishes, it is necessary to extend the healthy life expectancy in the long-lived society.

(2) Traffic safety measures as sightseeing spots

Niseko Town is one of the country's leading outdoor experience-type tourist destinations.
As a result, car traffic volume increases during the holiday period and ski season, so appropriate traffic safety measures for townspeople and tourists are required.

(3) Enhancement of disaster and emergency response

Firefighting to protect the lives and property of townspeople is conducting preflight and emergency services. However, in recent years, members' chronic capacity cracking and aging of facilities such as fire engines are seen.
From now on, it is necessary to create a framework for appropriate response in the event of an emergency.
We are also required to thoroughly prevent prevention against disasters and promote the development of an alert evacuation system.

Direction of future efforts

(1) Health promotion throughout life

With the philosophy of making health throughout the lifetime, we will try to shorten bedridden / dementia, improve lifestyle habits of maintaining health and establish a satisfying life environment.
Therefore, based on the "Health Japan 21" concept, we will actively support the promotion of a healthy community development plan and the residents themselves.

(2) Creating a safe and secure living environment

We will improve the response system in case of emergency and improve traffic safety.
For that reason, we will endeavor to comprehensively promote traffic safety cooperation with related organizations, organizations and other organizations that allow residents to live with peace of mind, and to enhance firefighting activities.
