Abstract
In this research, the authors developed a car-borne radiation measurement method for the farmland and roads in the Minamisoma Ota area of Fukushima that was devasteted by the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, and a community-led radiation measurement framework was established and implemented. As a result, radiation measurements and visualization for farmlands, paddies, and forests, which had been conventionally unachievable, was made possible. Furthermore, effective verification of the effect of decontamination also became possible by feeding back radiation measurement results before and after decontamination to residents.
