“…The small percentage of people wanting to decrease or abolish nuclear plants grew significantly in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, reaching 41% in two different opinion polls conducted by the Asahi and Yomiuri newspapers in April 2011 [49], and increasing to 71% in December 2011 (NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute opinion poll [50]), and 77% in December 2013 [51].…”

Abstract:In this paper, methane hydrate R&D in Japan was examined in the context of Japan's evolving energy policies. Methane hydrates have been studied extensively in Japanese national R&D programs since 1993, with the goal of utilizing them as an energy resource. Currently, the Research Consortium for Methane Hydrate Resources in Japan (MH 21) is in the third phase of a project that began in early 2002. Based on publicly available reports and other publications, and presentations made at the ten International Workshops for Methane Hydrate Research and Development, we have attempted to provide a timeline and a succinct summary of the major technical accomplishments of MH 21 during project Phases 1, 2, and 3.

“…(Note that the electricity demand in 2011 decreased by 5.1 percent in Japan from the previous year. After reviewing more than 70 nationwide public opinion surveys conducted in Japan after 2011, Iwai and Shishido [2013] raised the possibility that this decrease reflected people's negative attitudes toward nuclear power.) Emphasis on community bonds might be ascribed to the rediscovered importance of mutual aid in communities in emergencies.…”

In recent times, many studies have been conducted to understand those who migrate to rural areas. However, few have investigated the psychological and behavioral factors that affect people's decisions to migrate to rural areas. This study identifies the psychological and behavioral factors that have been suggested in the psychology literature and in rural studies as factors affecting people's decision to move to rural areas. The study is unique in that it categorizes the psychological states during the process of rural migration decision into three levels and identifies how psychological and behavioral factors affect people at each level. Researchers collected data from 906 respondents in Japan, including 128 people who had migrated to rural areas. The findings show that environmental and health concerns were significantly associated with initiating the procedure of the rural migration decision, while motives related to spiritual growth and employment were strongly connected with completing the procedure by actually migrating to rural areas. These findings contribute to a better understanding of a question that attracts a great deal of political attention in Japan: Why are rural areas gaining popularity especially after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011? This study represents the first time that the importance of psychological and behavioral traits, as measured by psychometrically sound scales, has been confirmed within a model explaining the decision to migrate to rural areas.
