Description

This research investigates Nagano Prefecture that is 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 <tt>（</tt>gender, age, number in group<tt>）</tt>; temporal <tt>（</tt>year, month, time<tt>）</tt>; and spatial dimensions <tt>（</tt>area and climate<tt>）</tt> 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 <tt>（</tt>psychological and physical<tt>）</tt> contributed more to injuries or anxiety than external ones <tt>（</tt>natural environment<tt>）</tt>. By combining the epidemiological data with the questionnaire results, these findings use empirical evidence to help deepen climbers' crisis awareness and preparation.
