The following four concerns were extracted from the interviews and qualitative analysis: \u201cDifficulties in restarting\/continuing farming,\u201d which represent the difficulties in making a living from agriculture due to the absence of family members and neighbors, and the insufficient radiation decontamination; \u201cDiscriminatory treatment of products and residents from villagers,\u201d which suggests the presence of discriminations that residents of Nagadoro district are eccentrics and its agricultural products should not be treated together with those of other districts in the Village due to the recognition that the district is severely polluted by radiation; \u201cShift of the responsibility of returning home from the country to residents by scapegoating,\u201d which is characterized by the shift of responsibility from the government to the residents, including harsh social criticism of the residents of Nagadoro district for not returning even though the evacuation order has been lifted, when it should have been the government\u2019s responsibility to recover the district to a habitable state; \u201cLoss of options for continued evacuation,\u201d which is the loss or weakening of the position of residents of the Nagadoro district who continue to evacuate, and of administrative compensation, resulting from the legal change that they are no longer \u201cevacuees\u201d after the evacuation order is lifted. The findings of this study will provide a foundation for the support of residents of the Nagadoro district after lifting the evacuation order scheduled for the spring of 2023. The findings may be transferable to the<br>residents of other difficult-to-return zones expected to be lifted after the Nagadoro district and to also a radiation disaster-affected place in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This study aimed to identify concerns related to returning to the Nagadoro district of Iitate Village,Fukushim [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publications","category-research_achievement","category-research_paper"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1580"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1580\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1583,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1580\/revisions\/1583"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/wima.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
