Abstract

The theft of construction equipments and materials at construction sites is one of the risk factors that may affect to the productivity as well as the progress of the project. However, managers of the construction site have paid little attention to the security measure, therefore the theft loss at construction sites has been occurred repeatedly every year. In this study the situation analysis has been carried out for the present condition of theft loss of construction equipments and materials as well as its prevention measure based on the questionnaire survey targeting field managers, experienced theft loss at the site, as a part of base study to set up a security measure of construction sites. The main content of this study is analyzing characteristics of theft loss and the degree of impact and risk by it at construction sites, then reviewing the direction of the prevention plan establishment for the future through the analysis of the importance and utilization level of prevention measures. The result of this study would give an opportunity to create an awareness against the theft loss at construction sites as well as can be utilized as a basic survey for the systematic development of concerned prevention measures.

건설현장에서 건설기자재의 절도는 건설사업의 생산성과 공사 진행에 영향을 미치는 위험요인 중 하나이다. 그러나 건설현장에서 절도범죄와 같은 방범 측면의 관리는 소홀히 되는 경향이 있어, 절도로 인한 피해가 매년 반복해서 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 건설사업 공사현장의 방범관리 대책 수립의 기초연구로서, 건설현장에서 절도피해를 경험한 현장관리자들의 설문조사를 기반으로 건설기자재 도난피해 실태와 예방대책 현황을 분석하였다. 주요 연구내용으로는 건설현장에서 발생한 절도피해의 특징과 이로 인해 건설사업에 미치는 영향도와 위험도를 분석하였으며, 예방대책들의 중요도와 활용도 분석을 통해 향후 구체적인 예방대책 수립방향을 고찰하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 건설현장 절도피해에 대한 경각심을 일으키는 계기가 되며, 관련 예방대책이 체계적으로 발전하는 기초조사로써 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
