Requiring the national government to accept various measures, including a special protect system for watching all over the village and implementation of decontamination measures, as national projects, Iitate Village emphasized the formation of a new community in temporary housing areas, the maintenance of community activities in each administrative district, and the development of childrearing environments. It is noteworthy that the village came up with the development of child-rearing bases not only inside but also outside the village. While the municipality made efforts to protect peoples' lives as much as possible, there is a gap and friction between local residents and the village administration due to three main factors: wide-area evacuation broadened the distance between them, the operational budget for reconstruction does not allow careful implementation, and viewpoints on the impact of radiation risks and the possibility of returning to the village differ between the two sides. The author points out the necessity of an interactive planning process involving young generations, using their methods and spirit developed through past participatory activities, as well as the establishment of special support systems for damaged municipalities facing the potential crisis of corruption.
