Project Description
Based on a survey conducted by NHK Fukushima station of residents evacuated from the four towns of Okuma, Futaba, Namie, and Tomioka within a 10 km radius of the nuclear plant, we created word clouds and designed a UI that allows users to get an overview of responses by attribute and drill down from any word of interest.
From the official site:
“The survey was conducted by NHK Fukushima station from November through December 2014, targeting 5,000 residents evacuated from the four towns of Okuma, Futaba, Namie, and Tomioka within a 10 km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. 1,154 responses were collected.
A free-response section was placed at the end of the survey, asking about residents’ hopes and opinions regarding their future homes and their towns. Responses are published as faithfully as possible to the original, with punctuation added in places for readability. For the word cloud, word forms were standardized to NHK’s editorial conventions (e.g. 子供 → 子ども).”
