Interviewee Profiles from Fukushima Decontamination Project Officials

Narratives from three municipal government officials collected through qualitative interviews, analyzed using the Steps for Coding and Theorisation method. The dataset was created by Tomoo Hidaka and last updated on 2026-04-03. It is a 5.5 KB XLS file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyzing themes of subjective distress and professional pride based on interview narratives.
• Modeling the progression of trust breakdown among government levels based on qualitative accounts.
• Studying the psychological burden of occupying an intermediate position in disaster management.
• Exploring conceptual models of distress emergence in post-disaster reconstruction contexts.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly licensed as CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• Focus on a specific, under-documented population (municipal officials in Fukushima decontamination).
• Uses a documented qualitative analysis method (Steps for Coding and Theorisation).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating a limited scope of three interviewees.
