Abstract / Description of output

The shift towards a deeper focus on the social and cultural consequences of disaster has been accompanied by a widening of the disciplines engaged in ‘disaster studies’ literature. This has led to an integration of broader definitions of wellbeing – which include social and community wellbeing – into the concept of recovery. Disaster recovery is a pillar of disaster literature and policy. Just over ten years on from the 3.11 disaster, it is clear that the Fukushima region has undergone significant social, political, demographic and environmental changes. There is a dearth of research engaging with health and disasters through social science perspectives. An understanding of health consequences associated with 3.11 can be facilitated by distinguishing between aspects of the disaster and taking account of the time elapsed since the disaster. Finally, the chapter presents an overview of this book.
