Abstract

<p>In the evacuation zone of the Great East Japan Earthquake, there is an increasing risk of crop damage by wildlife during the resumption of agriculture due to a lower human presence. Although there are specific problems, such as the isolated nature of cultivated fields and depopulation of villages, the structure of increased risk is the same as that of the wildlife damage that is a growing problem nationwide. We therefore decided to adopt measures that are typically used nationwide. Electric fences, which are often selected in the evacuation area to prevent field intrusion, are inexpensive and highly effective, but they are often used in the wrong way and require significant maintenance. Wire mesh fences, however, although expensive to install, were concluded to be suitable for this area due to their lower maintenance requirements.</p>
