This study examined the relationship between residents’ bewilderment in cemeteries construction as well as the need to sustain their residential environment, particularly in terms of gender and age. A questionnaire survey was administered to residents of Hiroshima City. The respondents rated the extent to which the degree of bewilderment in cemeteries construction and their need to sustain the local community’s environment through a crime prevention system and collect garbage. The results showed that bewilderment in cemeteries construction correlated with needs of taking measures for crime prevention. However, the correlation did not show both male and under 60 age respondents. These findings suggest that taking crime prevention measures in the local community focusing on demographic factors is crucially important in the making and execution of cemeteries construction.
