We aimed to examine the support needs of women who migrated to Fukushima Prefecture after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. In recent years, the presence of migrants has become an important part of the government's reconstruction policy for affected areas. However, there is insufficient research on the status of migrants in these areas, and it is unclear what kind of support the migrants, especially females, require to encourage further migration to the area. We conducted three semi-structured interviews each with four women who had migrated to Fukushima after the accident. The narratives obtained from the interviews were summarized into categories through open coding and were finally presented as support needs in the form of a four-quadrant diagram. Four needs were identified for female migrants in areas affected by the radiation disaster: "soft adaptation needs," "lifestyle constancy needs," "female empowerment needs," and "community participation needs." Female migrants in the affected areas may be marginalized in terms of receiving migrant support. Key strategies for supporting female migrants in radiation disaster areas include providing an environment in which they can relax, interact with Fukushima and its residents, and address intersectionality.
我们旨在探讨福岛第一核电站事故后移居福岛县的女性的支持需求。近年来，移民的存在已成为政府受灾地区重建政策的重要组成部分。然而，对于这些地区移民的现状研究不足，也不清楚移民，特别是女性，需要什么样的支持来鼓励更多的人迁移到该地区。我们对事故发生后移居福岛的 4 名女性进行了三次半结构化访谈。通过开放式编码将访谈中获得的叙述总结为类别，最后以四象限图的形式呈现为支持需求。我们确定了受辐射灾害影响地区女性移民的四种需求：“软性适应需求”、“生活方式稳定需求”、“女性赋权需求”和“社区参与需求”。受灾地区的女性移民在获得移民支持方面可能处于边缘地位。支持辐射灾区女性移民的关键策略包括提供一个让她们放松、与福岛及其居民互动以及解决交叉问题的环境。
