Five years after the one of the worst nuclear accidents in history,
Fukushima now only occasionally headlines national and
international media. However, the disaster is far from over, as
evidenced by a hundred thousand people from Fukushima still in the
state of evacuation, rising levels of radiation in streams and
rivers, and failing attempts to control the leakage of radioactive
materials at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Despite
these dismal conditions, efforts to recover and rebuild livelihoods
in the afflicted regions of Fukushima did start immediately after
the outset of the accident. Rebuilding Fukushima gives an account
of how citizens, local governments, and businesses responded to and
coped with the crisis of Fukushima. It addresses principles to
guide reconstruction and international policy environments in which
the current disaster is situated. It explores how reconstruction is
articulated and experienced at different spatial scales, ranging
from individuals to communities and municipalities, and details
recovery efforts, achievements, and challenges in the realms of
public transportation, agriculture and food production,
manufacturing industries, retail sectors, and renewable-energy
industries. This book also critically investigates the nature of
the current reconstruction policy schemes, and seeks to articulate
what may be required in order to achieve more sustainable and
equitable (re)development in afflicted regions and other nuclear
host regions. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and local surveys,
this volume is one of the first books in English that captures the
knowledge and insights of native Japanese social scientists who
dealt with the complexities of nuclear disaster on a day-to-day
basis. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of
disaster-management studies and nuclear policy.
