In FY2021, Sapporo City was hit with record heavy snowfall, making it difficult to transport and remove snow, paralyzing city functions, especially road transportation. The city has decided to use parks and school grounds in the area as temporary snow removal areas during heavy snowfall. Although there are issues such as the fact that parks in the region are not constructed with the assumption that they will accept snow removal, there is a possibility of cost reduction by shortening the distance for snow removal transportation, and the effect of educing environmental impact such as reducing CO2 emissions. Therefore, in this paper, we set a target area within Sapporo City, examine the effect of reducing snow removal costs within the region based on data on transportation and snow removal in Sapporo City in previous years, and also examine the effects of snow removal within the region. Clarify citizens' sense of acceptance.
