테러예방을 위한 환경설계 가이드라인에 관한 연구 -미국의 사례를 중심으로-

Abstract

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, during building designing, safety is considered as an essential requirement to protect against terrors. However, it is also true that such the consideration shall not interfere with the intended use of a building, its aesthetic aspects, construction costs, functions and strengths. And it is not desirable to take uniform protective measures against terrors for all buildings while giving no consideration to proper characteristics of them. Anyhow, in the light of the diversity and complexity of modern buildings, the most important issue to be tackled by the construction industry is preventing terrors. This research aims to help building owners, architects and/or construction engineers to map out the best anti-terror measures to keep buildings safe and secure from any terrorist attacks. Therefore, each of the guidelines suggested here is not to be legally enforced but voluntarily followed and is no more than a tiny solution to the terrorist threats some buildings are faced with. Moreover, seeing that there is no standardized anti-terror measure applicable to all buildings, it is assured that the most effective measure is to correctly evaluate the terrorist threats a specific building encounters and wisely complement vulnerable elements. It is expected that the results of this research will be utilized as a basic material to cope effectively with possible terrorist threats which are likely to happen in the future, in the manner of referring to the guidelines for environmental design set up by other countries to prevent terrors and formulating criteria and designs suitable to actual conditions of South Korea.
