Abstract: | Hokkaido, characterized as cold and snowy regions, is facing a problem that many people have the accidents caused by snow removal every winter. As advancement of aging and depopulating areas, these accidents are inevitable as long as the situation that elderly people are forced to engage in dangerous tasks. Nowadays, these communities are facing a difficulty of securing young hands. What shall we do to solve the problems? The author had been engaged in an anthropological field research focused on the snow removal behaviors of the residents in Miruto area in Iwamizawa city. This research elucidated the actual state of self-support and mutual-aids in snowy depopulated community, and then, what psychological mechanism -reciprocity- is relating to these behaviors. On the basis of these findings, authors explore the way to sustain the snowy depopulated communities by inter-cooperation between people in urban and rural, to overcome differences of generation and geological disadvantage. |
