Abstract

The study of environmental migration has shown how an attachment to land reduces the perceptions of risks, and how women often lack resources to evacuate. This qualitative study of Japanese women’s migration to Southeast Asia after the Fukushima nuclear disaster complicates the debate by showing that the post-disaster attachment to the land is disrupted by unequal gendered social relations and that digital communication among women provides a wide range of resources and emotional support to differently positioned women. This article shows how gendered social relations and digital communication play a major role in environmental migrant decision making processes in Asia.

摘要

对环境迁移的研究表明，对土地的依恋如何降低了对风险的感知，以及妇女如何经常缺乏撤离的资源。这项关于福岛核灾难后日本女性移居东南亚的定性研究表明，灾后对土地的依恋被不平等的性别社会关系所破坏，女性之间的数字交流提供了广泛的资源和情感，从而使辩论变得复杂。支持不同定位的女性。本文展示了性别社会关系和数字通信如何在亚洲环境移民决策过程中发挥重要作用。
