Tragedy struck many millions of people and families in Tohoku and Kanto regions when the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, generating thousands of evacuees in the districts, and also in neighboring prefectures . One and a half years later, we performed a questionnaire survey on the evacuees of in and out of Ibaraki prefecture, suffering their living environments. Our investigation found that the victims in Ibaraki of this unprecedented disasters, including of psychological damages from the nuclear power plants accidents, who were forced to leave their long-beloved houses still remained unsettling at their temporary living places. In this study we especially focused on the evacuated families with children that were compelled to make hard-decision of moving away from Ibaraki because they were unable to cast aside fear of being radiated. The survey revealed that the wish of these families with children to return their lived home was at the rate of around 10 percent, to move to new places roughly 50 percent, and around 40 percent were seeking under ongoing uneasy evacuees life for settling in better living areas. Those 40 percent families were more concerned and worried about possibility of healthy life of their children.
