Abstract

A case on the relationship between Chiba University and Yamakiya District, one of a forced evacuation area against radioactive contamination by the accident of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, is described for reconstruction of broken society. Based on the principle of community priority, we aim to achieve a role of academic sector. The main points of activity are to establish measures on i) monitoring of radioactive materials, ii) countermeasures to radioactive contamination, and iii) reconstruction of livelihood. Sense of science, sympathy, and idea for the future are the three elements to be shared for the solution of the problem.
