Abstract
In cold region like Hokkaido, severity index evaluated by weather conditions and sense of climate in each area is required for defining winter's misery. 1) When assuming total hours of snowstorm or freezing precipitation in case of Japan, climate severity index (CSI) in Hokkaido can be calculated. CSl in Hokkaido had a range from 32 to 50. 2) Six levels of adaptation to winter defined by N. Pressman were asked to staffs of promotion section of Cities in Hokkaido and to two groups of students in Hokkaido University as a questionnaire. Replies of enduring winter were the most among the six levels. Reply pattern of each group to the six levels was very similar. 3) Regional climate map (Hokkaido) was proposed by using coefficient from principle component analysis. The analysis used data of questionnaire results to officials of Hokkaido Government and of weather condition. Regional climate map was well relative to CSI.
