In this study, we considered the maintenance work plans that the residents participate easily, for inquest of motivation of local residents' participation in the maintenance works of irrigation and drainage facilities, by using conjoint analysis. The results of questionnaire to residents in Kitami, Hokkaido, were analyzed. The attributes of this analysis were (a) distance to working point, (b) attendance area, (c) working hours and (d) working frequency.
From the conjoint analysis, the attributes of the plan with the highest possibility of participation were found to meet the following conditions, (a) on foot, (b) everyone knows everyone else, (c) half day and (d) once a year. “Working hours” was important factor for local residents, and “working frequency” was important factor for non-farmers. It will be necessary to consider the maintenance working plan that work hours is limited to a day in one working and the planner doesn't demand much participation from non-farmers.
