In the rural areas of Fukushima, many residents participate in a culture of  satoyama  usage, and this cultural practice should be respected when conducting radiation protection. We conducted a case study by performing interview survey and text analysis of former evacuees in a rural part of a former evacuation area in Fukushima, to evaluate their attitude towards personal usage of forest or  satoyam a after radiocaesium contamination and long evacuation following the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident in 2011. The evacuation order in the study area was lifted in 2017, and our interview survey was conducted in 2019. We found that the resumption to the use of  satoyama  after their return varied among residents in this particular area. Most returnees in the area were highly knowledgeable about radiation in the environment, but we could not conclude that it helped them make decisions regarding whether to resume  satoyama  usage. Residents resuming personal use of  satoyama  after their return were those who had a close relationship with  satoyama  before the accident, such as the use of forest products for commercial purpose. These past experiences may have led them to have positive attitudes towards the resumption of  satoyama  usage after their return. Finally, we identified the required approaches towards resuming  satoyama  usage based on the interviewees’ different attitudes.
