Iitate ( Japanese 飯舘 村 , - mura ) is a village community in Sōma County in Fukushima Prefecture in Japan . The place has been uninhabited since the Fukushima nuclear disaster . Resettlement is planned from March 2017.

geography

Iitate is in the Abukuma highlands ( 阿 武 隈 高地 , Abukuma-kōchi ). The largest elevation is the Hanazuka-yama ( 花 塚 山 ) on the western border with Kawamata with 918.5 m .

The largest lake is the Hayama-ko ( は や ま 湖 ), which was created in 1991 - 34 years after the project planning - as a reservoir for the Mono-Dam ( 真 野 ダ ム , Mono-damu ). The tributary is the Mono-gawa ( 真 野 川 ). In the south is the Nitta-gawa river system ( 新 田 川 ), which is located on its tributary Iitoi-gawa ( 飯 樋 川 ) on Iwabe Dam ( 岩 部 ダ ム , Iwabe-damu ) and on Notegami-gawa on Notegami Dam ( 野 手上 川 , Notegami-damu ) - also called Fugane Dam ( 風 兼 ダ ム , Fugane-damu ) - is dammed into two much smaller lakes.

At the time of the evacuation, the community consisted of 20 districts, all of which date back to premodern villages with the exception of Nagadoro ( 長 泥 ) and Warabidaira ( 蕨 平 ) (see history section).

Neighboring communities are Sōma in the northeast, Minamisōma in the east, Namie in the south, Kawamata in the southwest and west and Date in the northwest.

history

The municipality of Iitate was created on September 30, 1956 from the union of the two villages Iiso ( 飯 曽 村 ) and Ōtate ( 大 舘 村 ), from which the name was derived, just as it happened in the past with these two villages: Iiso was created on April 1, 1889 from Iitoi ( 飯 樋 村 ) and Hiso ( 比 曽 村 ), and Ōtate on April 1, 1967 from Ōsu ( 大 須 村 ) and Niitate ( 新 舘 村 ).

Ōsu, in turn, was formed on April 1, 1889 from Ōkura ( 大 倉 村 , dt. "Large camp") and Sasu ( 佐 須 村 , dt. "Necessary help"), as well as Niitate from Kusano ( 草 野村 , dt. "Grass field") , Yagisawa ( 八 木 沢 村 , German “river with many trees / eight tree species”), Ashimata ( 芦 股 村 , German “reed fork”), Sekisawa ( 関 沢 村 , German “barrier river”), Numadaira ( 沼 平 村 , German "flat morass, morass plain"), Komiya ( 小 宮 村 , German "small shrine"), Itamizawa ( 伊丹 沢 村 ) and Fukaya ( 深谷 村 , German "deep valley").

In addition, on April 1, 1967, Ishibashi ( 石橋村 , dt. "Stone Bridge") was incorporated into Iiso, which was formed on April 1, 1889 from Usuishi ( 臼 石村 , dt. " Mortar stone "), Nimaibashi ( 二枚 橋村 , dt . "Two bridges"), Maeda ( 前 田村 , German “Vorreisfeld”), Sugaya ( 須 萱 村 , German “necessary reed”), Sekine ( 関 根 村 ) and Matsuzuka ( 松 塚 村 , German “pine grave” (hill) ) ").

These original 18 villages from the time before the national reorganization of the municipal system on April 1, 1889 have survived with their names in the districts, with the exception of Ashimata, which is now Ashihara ( 芦 原 , English "reed plain "). Ashi is homophonic with the word for “foot, leg” and the character of mata can also be “thigh; Step [area] ”.

In 2004 the community opposed the general trend towards incorporation, stepped out of the council meeting on incorporation into Minamisōma and has since pursued a course of independence.

Tōhoku earthquake and nuclear disaster 2011

The village of Iwate was not directly affected by the Tōhoku earthquake on March 11, 2011. But the tsunami triggered by the earthquake and the resulting nuclear disaster in Fukushima meant that the entire village had to be evacuated due to the contamination .

In addition to the restricted area and “Deliberate Evacuation Area”, there are 3 categories:
Category 1: Area ready for the evacuation order to be lifted
Category 2 = residents are prohibited from permanent residence.
Category 3 = long-term unsuitable for return of residents

Damage and sacrifice

The fire and disaster control authority reported a death for Iitate as a result of the Tōhoku triple disaster of 2011 up to their 145th damage report from March 13, 2012, but then increased their figure in their 146th damage report from September 28, 2012 to 38 deaths and up to the 157th damage report from March 7, 2018 to 42 deaths.

evacuation

Iitate became known worldwide because of the consequences of the Fukushima nuclear disaster . Despite a distance of 40 kilometers to the damaged nuclear power plant, Iitate was one of the most radioactively contaminated areas. An analysis of soil samples in the Fukushima prefecture found by far the highest contamination on a farm in Iitate (see also: Hotspot in Iitate in the article Radiation exposure from the Fukushima nuclear accidents ).

The International Atomic Energy Agency and Greenpeace asked the Japanese authorities at the end of March 2011 to extend the evacuation of the area around the nuclear power plant to Iitate. On April 12, the Japanese government ordered the evacuation of Iitate and four neighboring locations. The population of Iitate was around 6100 as of 2010 (2010 census: 6.209).

The government's evacuation order after the nuclear accident due to the high radiation exposure affected the entire village of Iitate. Approximately 90% of the population has been evacuated from the village to areas within an hour's drive, while approximately 10% of the population has been evacuated to locations outside of Fuskushima Prefecture. All residents had to leave the place by the end of May 2011. The Iitate community had considered evacuating closed to a single location, but then tried to meet the needs of the villagers in terms of employment, education and avoidance of restrictions in their living space. As a result, during the evacuation, the evacuees from Iitate were dispersed to the destinations of the evacuation, with the total number of households increasing from 1,700 before the evacuation to 3,300 after the evacuation due to the division of household members into different locations. According to a survey conducted in 2012, the family members of 65% of households lived in two or more places and 23.4% of households lived in three or more places after their evacuation. Only 30% of the households were shot and evacuated, many moved to rental apartments. 42.7% of those questioned stated that they had only a few friends or acquaintances nearby and no real conversation partners. The village of Iitate, located in a rural mountainous region, offered good conditions for flourishing agriculture, cattle breeding and flower growing. Before the evacuation, community events had taken place regularly, in which women and young people in particular had taken part. After the evacuation, the onset of unemployment and the permanent departure of many people led to a loss of motivation and the disintegration of the local community. The dramatic decline in social networks is seen as a threat to the health of the villagers, especially since evacuees living in emergency shelters are exposed to a higher risk of depression due to their lower level of social networking. The media reported in April 2011 that the oldest resident of Iitate, aged 102, had committed suicide as a result of being forced to evacuate .

As a countermeasure to the nuclear disaster, a restricted area was designated around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant within a radius of 20 km. However, there were also many other locations with high radiation values ​​beyond this 20 km radius, as radioactive particles were carried away from the damaged power plant by the wind. These places included Iitate and 10 other villages and cities, including Minamisōma , Naraha , Tomioka , Kawauchi , Ōkuma , Futaba , Namie , Katsurao , Tamura and Kawamata . According to the evacuation orders of May 7, 2013, these regions were divided into four different categories according to their radioactive exposure: Areas with a radiation exposure of less than 20 mSv per year, which were treated by the government as a threshold value for permanent return Category 1. Areas of this Category 1 could be entered at their own discretion and without the use of protective equipment with the only restriction that they were not allowed to stay overnight there. These areas were ready for the evacuation order to be lifted. In areas with a radiation exposure between 20 and 50 mSv per year (category 2), residents were prohibited from permanent residence. Areas with over 50 mSv per year (category 3) were seen as unsuitable for a return of residents in the long term. A fourth evacuation area had a special status.

In December 2012, the Iitate Village Office agreed with the Fukushima City Council to develop a "Temporary City" in Fukushima City. As of 2014, more than half of the villagers (around 3,800 people) and the Iitate village office had moved to Fukushima city. Social housing, a secondary school, a kindergarten, agricultural facilities and other necessary infrastructure were built. It was the first case of an agreement on a "temporary city" agreed by two local governments.

Returnees

In July 2016, the village administration resumed its duties within the village and registered residents were allowed to stay in the village for a long time. The repeal of the evacuation ordinance and thus permission to repopulate most of the village of Iitate was planned for the end of March 2017. The exceptions to this should be those areas where the return of residents was deemed "difficult". The repopulation of an area of ​​7% of the municipality, which was heavily contaminated, was thus still excluded. Accordingly, on March 31, 2017, the evacuation recommendation for most of the village was lifted. Overall, on March 31 and April 1, 2017, the Japanese government revoked the evacuation orders for around 32,000 residents from the four radiation-contaminated communities of Iitate, Kawamata, Namie and Tomioka, allowing them to return to their homes. The only places that were still the subject of evacuation orders were Futaba and Ōkuma as well as parts of the five neighboring cities and villages Minamisōma, Iitate, Namie, Tomioka, Katsurao.

Initially, however, only a limited number of residents returned to their original homes in the areas where the evacuation order was lifted. Reasons for not returning included limited social infrastructure and employment opportunities, as well as concerns about radiation exposure.

In the village of Iitate, for example, the gathering of sansai ( edible wild plants and wild mushrooms) was an important and traditional event for many people. In the village of Kawauchi, also close to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where the evacuation order for all village areas was lifted in 2016, however, the number of people collecting sansai had decreased significantly since the nuclear accident. The additional individual radiation exposure for people who collected wild plants and mushrooms in the mountains had not been scientifically determined as of 2017.

traffic

The most important trunk road is the national road 339 to Iwaki or Nan'yō .

Iitate is not connected to the rail network.

Attractions

Wolf statue at the Yamatsumi shrine

The 918.5 m high Hanazuka-yama on the western border, the 705.5 m high Toratori-yama ( 虎 捕 山 ) on the border with the Ryōzanmachi- Ishida district of Date and the 628.6 m high Notegami-yama ( 野手 上山 ) opposite the Notegami reservoir are said to be among the 100 most beautiful mountains in the prefecture.

The god Hanazukayama-dai gongen ( 花 塚 山大 権 現 ) was worshiped at Hanazuka-yama . The mountain has a long history of mountaineering: on the one hand it was climbed to pray for rain there, on the other hand it was also climbed by Buddhist mountain ascetics like Ennin (Shigaku-daishi). The mountain itself is characterized by large blocks of granite on top and a view of the Pacific Ocean 35 km away .

The name of the Toratori-yama, "Tigerfang Mountain", comes from the fact that the bandit Tachibana no Sumitora ( 橘 墨 虎 , where Sumitora literally means "Tushetiger" ) was captured by Minamoto no Yoriyoshi (988-1075). Minamoto had help from a white wolf, in whose honor the Shinto shrine Yamatsumi-jinja ( 山 津 見 神社 ) was founded in 1051 , where yamatsumi roughly means "mountain god" who is worshiped here. At the south foot of the mountain is the prayer hall (haiden) , which is known for its many white wolf statues and formerly 231 ceiling paintings with wolves. The original paintings from 1904 as well as the prayer hall were destroyed in a fire in April 2013. The prayer hall, which was reconstructed in June 2015, was partially refurbished in 2016 with replicas made by art students. A path leads further to the summit, on which the actual sanctuary, the main hall (honden), is located. However, today's buildings date from the Meiji period . Every year on the 17th day of the 10th lunar month a festival in honor of the mountain god took place here, on the two days before an autumn festival. The Pacific Ocean, 30 km away, can also be seen from the mountain top.

There is also a shrine at Notegami-yama, the Notegami-jinja ( 野手 神 神社 ), in which five gods are worshiped, including one of the silk industry , the Buddhist sun god Marici , a mountain god and a snake god.

Northwest of the town center is the Sonmin no Mori forest ( 村民 の 森 ) with the Ai no Sawa campsite ( あ い の 沢 ) along a lake whose promenade is said to be one of the 50 most beautiful in the prefecture. From 2001 to 2005, a haiku competition on the topic of love was held annually , with thousands of entries from all over the country, the best 50 of which were selected annually by Madoka Mayuzumi and then immortalized on stone along the promenade.

education

Until the evacuation, the primary schools ( 飯舘 村 立 X 小学校 , Iitate-sonritsu X shōgakkō ) Usuishi, Iitoi and Kusano, the Iitate middle school ( 飯舘 村 立 飯舘 中 学校 , Iitate-sonritsu Iitate chūgakkō ), and the Iitate branch school of the prefectural branch school were in Iitate Sōma Agricultural High School ( 福島 県 立 相 馬 農業 高等学校 飯舘 校 , Fukushima-kenritsu Sōma nōgyō kōtō gakkō Iitate-kō ).
