| Abstract |
Drawing lessons from international complex terrorist incidents targeting multi-use facilities, such as the 9/11 attacks, this study highlights that highly interconnected modern societies are particularly vulnerable to complex terrorism escalating into broader societal disasters if initial responses fail to integrate societal disaster vulnerabilities comprehensively. South Korea, where counter-terrorism systems have historically focused independently on protecting hard targets such as VIPs, military, and critical national infrastructure, faces heightened risks due to functional gaps and delayed responses at the initial stage of incidents. To overcome these issues, the study proposes a comprehensive risk management framework emphasizing unified command structures, enhanced disaster response integration, clear identification of societal vulnerabilities, and active citizen-led risk management strategies anchored in strategic risk communities. Such an integrated response approach ensures systematic vulnerability management from the earliest phases, reducing potential damage, enhancing community resilience, and effectively preventing complex terrorist incidents from escalating into widespread societal disasters. |
