The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual condition and problems of the life recovery of refugees outside Fukushima Prefecture 10 years after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. We conducted a questionnaire survey to members of Futaba Town Neighborhood Association who have continued to live in evacuation in Kazo City, Saitama Prefecture and its surrounding areas. As a result, many refugees think that the living environment such as shopping environment is better than before the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. However, about half of the refugees think that the degree of life recovery compared to before Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is less than 50%. This study points out that it is necessary to support the life recovery at the evacuation site for a long period of time, and to develop and improve the legal system.
