Abstract

The international sports event could be defined as "the event hosted at regular or odd intervals by an international sports institution or athletics specialist body of the hosting country, where the sports delegations from more than 2 countries have bona-fide competitions and build their inter-comradeships, followed by additional different cultural events to be attended or watched by spectators". There are distinctive features in the international sports event that separate it from other events. First, it involves a large number of unspecified crowd, which is unique to the international sports where tens of thousands of people gather in the limited space, the playing field, although a mass of public can be found also in a political campaign or religious gathering and other seasonal festivals. Second, brings together the cheering brigades, tourists, press corps, VIPs, etc. The international sports event of modern world is likely more of an economic factor where people try to exploit its economic opportunities and the hosting country tries its best to gain the financial benefits by attracting more tourists and cheering brigades. In other words, what determines whether the event was a success or failure is not the performance of the players but the economic gains from the event. Third, in the international sports event, a comprehensive safety measures is emerging for the security department because the players' villages are synchronize with the sports fields, which spreads the safeguard zones and different games are concurrent in different places. Fourth, there are different many countries participating. Therefore, it is highly expected that tensions may arise not only between the competing squads and cheering parties from those nations confronted each other by their own political, religious, cultural and idealogical philosophies, etc. - also inside the hosting nation The International Sports Event may not only turn out a failure if a terror or other safety accident occurs, but also produce a destruction of lives, assets and facilities, eventually dropping the trust toward the hosting nation, which means the safety measures should be the top priority. Korea is one of the strongest allies of the United States and it also has a lot of American-related facilities. Actually, the possibility of terrorism in Korea and the threat of international terrorist organizations are gradually increasing as well. Especially, international major sports events is the largest event related events with politics, economy, culture, and such large-scale events should be a comprehensive counter-plans in the light of safety check for the location of a hazard and safety check of facilities in and out, attendance on athlete and visitor and escort of VIPs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problems and to suggest development measures on the operating system of security personnel for the success of 2011 World Championships held in Daegu which is one of the top three sports event. Main responsible bodies for security are organization committee of IAAF World Championships Daegu 2011, private security companies, police, voluntary service workers(safety field), Daegu City, and fire fighting organization. Therefore, mutual cooperation system should be established among the organizations for the effective execution of security matters. Especially, the central security body of this championships is a private security and police provided a support activity. Therefore, private security companies performed the missions such as protection of Daegu Stadium, athlete's village, headquarter hotel and general meeting place from the trespass of dangerous people, access control to important area and order maintenance on the basis of their own know-how. Korea is one of the countries which have experiences in hosting different large-scale international events including sports. It is also preparing for the Asian Game in Incheon Metropolitan City in 2014, an event the world is watching. It should not be the government alone who will be arranging this kind of big event, but every people might have to do something to minimize any probable damages on the assumption that they can be the victim of terrorism, at any moment and any place.
