Abstract
The purpose of this study is to survey the perspectives of architectural design practitioners on the anti-terrorism design of multi-use buildings. According to the results of the survey, practitioners highly evaluated the contribution of anti-terrorism design for buildings to prevent explosive terrorism and mitigate the damage from the explosion, but their awareness of anti-terrorism design guidelines was relatively low. In the evaluation of the importance of each anti-terrorism design strategy, both similarities and differences between the opinions of experts and practitioners were revealed. Especially, the importance of design strategies related to the layout of facility, such as buildings, outdoor streets, and ground parking area, was evaluated relatively low by design practitioners. Since this strategy is known to be one of the main factors affecting the risk of explosive, it is necessary to encourage design practitioners to consider the layout design for anti-terrorism from the preliminary design stage. Based on the results of surveys, the following improvements for the design guidelines of anti-terrorism can be suggested. Firstly, the description of purpose and relative importance of each design strategy should be fully explained, and design elements and techniques for each design strategy should be specified. Secondly, design elements should be categorized by design strategy according to the function and the purpose so that, if the application of the specific design element is impossible or difficult, substitutable elements can be considered to achieve the goal of the design strategy. Finally, appropriate information should be provided so that practitioners understand how to apply the design strategies and the design elements at each stage of design.
