Abstract
This research contributes to building consensus and making social decisions about disaster mitigation, especially in districts of heavy snowfall. From the existing research, the hypothesis model of snowfall disaster problem formulation has been developed, which includes the snowfall disaster phase, software phase, and hardware phase. Next, interview surveys in Takashima city were conducted among the various stakeholders: officers of the social welfare council, community leaders, public health nurses, welfare commissioners, and government officers. As a result of the surveys, the causal relationship and trade-off relationship among the phases have been observed. Especially, information asymmetry among the stakeholders in snow removal and elderly persons watching and health-checking activity is extracted as one of the problems in the snowfall disaster problem structure.
