Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for policy making by understanding preparation plans and awareness of nuclear accidents and radiation terrorism among police officers in the vicinity of nuclear power plants. 221 police officers working in Busan metropolitan city were surveyed and their perception of disaster response was analyzed by organizational structure, command ability, and opinion management. As a result, there was no significant difference in disaster response perception by gender and command class (p>.05). There was statistically significant difference in the ability of command in age and ability according to work experience. As a result of the correlation analysis, there were statistically significant correlations among the three items of organizational structure perception, command ability, and opinion management (+0.5) (p<.01). Overall, it was positive for the police system, and it was well aware of the police work in case of radiation accidents and terrorist attacks. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for policy making by understanding the coping and awareness of nuclear accidents and radiation terrorism among police officers in the vicinity of nuclear power plants.

본 연구는 원자력 발전소가 인접해 있는 부산지역 경찰관들의 원자력 사고와 방사능 테러에 대한 인식과 대처 방안을 파악함으로써, 이와 관련한 정책 수립에 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 부산광역시에 근무하는 221명의 경찰을 대상으로 하였으며, 조직구성, 지휘능력, 여론운영 등으로 설문을 구성하여 재난대응 인식도를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 성별 및 지휘계급에 따른 재난대응 인식은 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>.05). 연령의 경우 지휘능력에 대한 통계적 차이(p<.05)를 보였으며, 근무경력에 따른 지휘능력도 통계적 차이(p<.05)를 나타냈다. 상관관계 분석 결과, 조직구성에 대한 인식과 지휘능력, 여론운영 3가지 항목이 +0.5 이상으로 정적상관을 나타냈다(p<.01). 전반적으로 경찰 체제에 대해 긍정적인 것으로 나타났으며, 방사선사고 및 테러 발생 시 경찰의 업무를 잘 인식하고 있었다.
