Research aimed at recovering from nuclear disaster and rebuilding long-term evacuee communities
Research grant
- Project Description
This research aims to build on the success of the 'Questionnaire Survey for Evacuees from Futaba 8 Municipalities' conducted in 2011. A second questionnaire survey for evacuees from Futaba 8 municipalities will be carried out to reveal issues faced by evacuees five years on from the disaster in terms of rebuilding lifestyles and hometowns, as well as creating specific policy recommendations for forming evacuee communities and rebuilding lives. Eventually it will contribute to building new structures for recovering from disasters, such as the Act on Special Measures Concerning Nuclear Emergency Preparedness (provisional name).
