Mid−and near−mountain forested and agricultural areas have problems of continuous depopulation and aging of residents. Fukui Prefecture includes many areas of this type. The continuous depopulation may result from the current nationalwide motion of people to urban areas. In addition to the problems, natural disasters may give great impacts to living conditions in the areas and lead to deep depopulation. Our interview survey in Miyama Area and Kawada Area made it clear that the 2004 Fukui Heavy−Rainfall disaster did not cause considerable decrease in population. However, in the past, some small communities were wholly abandoned after natural disasters giving great damage. Whether community functions can be sustained after disasters, it depends on traffic convenience of the areas, scale of communities(size and populataion), active affection of land use, partnership between residents and the governments, and voluntary work of district resi-dents. Future plans against depopulation in mid−and near−mountain regions are inevitable to sustain the areas. The plans should be based on the geographic situations and residential opinions and visions. After field work and in-terview survey, we attempted to propose a future plan to sustain Ashimi District which belongs to Miyama Area.
