  • Site visits and group-specific research on Health Monitoring, Risk Communication, and Environmental Decontamination.

    • Main Results:

    • Health Monitoring group: Recommended enhancing the Fukushima Health Management Survey with community engagement and integrated data systems.
    • Risk Communication group: Proposed a national campaign to reshape public perceptions of Fukushima.
    • Environmental Decontamination group: Suggested international collaboration for disaster reconstruction and promoting "Hope Tourism."

    Conclusions:

    • Fukushima's recovery requires enhanced health surveillance, strategic communication, and innovative decontamination approaches.
    • International solidarity and "Hope Tourism" can aid reconstruction efforts.
    • The course successfully connected Fukushima's challenges with global learning for future crisis leaders.
