| Popis: | 102 As there is an increasing number of terrorism attacks on mass rapid transit systems, it can be expected that travelers may suffer heavier casualties due to the attacks, such as the Lod Airport massacre in 1972 and the blasts on Cairo subway stations in June, 2014. Although currently Taiwan is not the terrorists’ main target, researching similar events can help better understand the vulnerabilities of Taiwan’s MRT stations. This research applied the textual analysis technique to the literature pertaining to the reports of the 7 July 2005 London Bombings. Use of the London event is due to the fact that it was reported comprehensively in the literature, which is the key to successfully implementation of the textual analysis. The aims of the research include vulnerability analysis and countermeasures used during the London event, and 19 papers were selected for this analysis. Conclusions draw from the textual analysis were further generalized to show the similarities between London’s subway stations and Taipei MRT stations, and future researchers may reuse the findings of the research to identify vulnerabilities and appropriate response actions if such events occur in Taipei MRT stations. |
