| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My research investigated Nagano Prefecture that was taking a proactive approach to the rapid increase in mountain climbing incidents. The incident records were analyzed with the cooperation of the Prefectural Police, the main risk management organization. Findings revealed a close relationship between climber demographics （gender, age,etc）; temporal; and spatial dimensions of the incidents. A questionnaire was also conducted on climbers in the Northern Japan Alps. Only half the respondents collected information about prior incidents. Also internal factors （psychological and physical） contributed more to injuries or anxiety than external ones (natural environment）. By combining the epidemiological data with the questionnaire results, these findings use empirical evidence to help deepen climbers’ crisis awareness and preparation. Comparing mountain trail grading system between Nagano Prefecture and Daisetuzan national park, we raised future challenges.
