Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、被災者の生活再建および被災地域の再生に迅速かつ適切に資する、人災ないし人為的要因が寄与する大規模災害全般に応用可能な賠償・補償制度のあり方を検討する過程において、福島原発事故賠償制度の実態を明らかにすることを試み、問題の解消・改善に向けた調査研究を行った。世界各地で大規模災害が多発している現在、福島原発事故賠償制度は大規模災害の賠償・補償制度の一つとして国際的にも注目されており、本研究成果を国内外で論文・学会報告として公表したことで、学術的・社会的貢献をわずかなりとも果たすことができたと考える。
