The COVID-19 Pandemic is a global problem, and to prevent the spread of the infections, it is crucial not only to develop vaccines and therapeutic medications but also to encourage people to change their behavior. Behavioral change to prevent the spread of infectious diseases has required people to give up many activities, especially pleasures outside the home. However, it is hoped that if most people behave cooperatively, individuals’ selfish pursuit of pleasure will have little effect on the spread of infection. This conflict between benefits for individuals and those for the community as a whole can be considered a social dilemma. Clarifying the factors that define people’s behavior during epidemics is essential for designing social systems after the COVID-19 Pandemic is declared over. Here, we analyze the determinants of people’s behavior in the framework of a social dilemma by conducting a two-wave panel survey in 2020 and 2021. The results show that in the first wave, psychological attitudes that affect prosocial behavior, such as reciprocity, positively affect prosocial behavior. However, in the second wave, these effects disappear, and other factors define people’s behavior. Continuous analysis of the factors determining people’s behavior under drastically changing circumstances can provide information for planning measures to promote desirable behavioral changes.

A newly designed generator hut which will become the heart of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition's Syowa Station was completed recently. The generator hut has a floor space of 68.8 square meters and contains two 45 KVA generators, four ice melting tanks and a hot bath. The hut, which is the first step toward making the Japanese Antarctic base a permanent one, was constructed by the multipurpose building and assembling method, a new technique developed by the Takenaka Building Research Institute in Tokyo. The generator hut is oval-shaped and is made mostly of aluminium sandwich panels. It has been so designed as to enable easy construction by only seven or eight men even on a very rough terrain. It is an assembly type structure weighing a total of seven tones. Since it will be the heart of the daily life at the Antarctic base, strongest emphasis was laid on the resistance to fire and cold. It has been designed to withstand maximum winds of 60 meters per second (134 miles per hour) and temperatures of 45 degrees below zero centigrade.
