Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 2011 Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant explosion scattered radioactive material into the surrounding atmosphere which led to the closing of many kindergarten. Even after these kindergartens re-opened, restrictions were placed on outside play. We investigated the current state of affairs and recovery. Even after the decontamination work that made it safe to go outside again, we observed incidences of children displaying fears of bugs and soil. We have coined this condition “Nature Deprivation Syndrome” (NDS). A text mining analysis of the words used by nursery staff to describe their experience, we saw a high frequency of words like “children”, “outside”, “earthquake”, “disaster”, “play”, “radioactive material”, and “parents”. The frequency of these kind of worrisome words was higher in communities closer to the accident. NDS is in the process of being alleviated by rebuilding clean playgrounds that closely mirror a natural setting.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
東日本の放射能汚染は2019年現在も収束していない。東電福島第一原発周辺の保育施設は廃園し、また再開出来た園も園敷地内に限定した除染は受けても、散歩や遠足に行っていた園周囲の自然環境は依然として利用できない。子どもたちは事故発生当初、園外に出ない、泥や虫に触れないと制限され、虫を怖がり泥を触れない「自然剥奪症候群」を呈する例もある。この経験から保育と原発は併存できないことを保育者は悟らされた。
