Abstract

Chemical terrorism using toxic and flammable gases, which could be fatal to the health of the human body, poses a serious threat to the security of most advanced countries, as well as those that are suffering from local disputes, due to the asymmetric information that exists between terrorist actors and victims. The countermeasures against chemical terrorism can be roughly divided into three stages: prevention, response, and probation. The critical factors for each professional response agency, and the personnel that determine the degree and range of chemical terrorism damage, are performing missions successfully in the process of the prevention and the response stage against chemical terrorism. To do this, conducting objective and systematical assessments on facilities that could potentially be the subject of chemical terrorism is more important than anything. In this study, we compared the existing domestic and foreign vulnerable classification systems for chemical terrorism, reviewed the current direction of improvement in domestic classification systems, and suggested more scientific and systematic methodologies through the vulnerability assessment on an actual public facility sample.

인체 건강에 치명적인 위해를 가할 수 있는 독성 및 인화성 가스를 이용한 화학테러행위는 행위자인 테러범과 그 행위로 인한 피해자 간에 존재하는 현격한 정보의 비대칭성으로 인해 대다수의 선진국, 또는 국지적 분쟁을 겪고 있는 국가 및 지역사회에 대하여 중대한 안보위협이 되고 있다. 화학테러에 대한 대응기관의 대처방안은 크게 예방, 대응, 수습의 3단계로 나누어 볼 수 있고, 이 과정 중에서 화학테러의 피해 정도 및 피해 범위에 절대적인 영향력을 미치는 예방과 대응단계에 해당하는 각 전문대응기관과 요원들의 성공적인 임무수행을 위해서는 화학테러의 잠재적 대상이 되는 시설들에 대한 객관적이고 체계화된 취약성의 평가와 등급화가 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 국내외의 화학테러관련 취약성 등급분류체계를 비교분석하고 현재 국내 등급분류체계의 개선방향에 대해 살펴보고 실제 국내 다중이용시설 표본에 대한 취약성 평가를 통해서 보다 과학적이고 체계화된 방법론을 제시하였다.
