Abstract
Purpose In order to improve the efficiency of the national disaster response system directly related to the safety of the people, this study conducted a trial study to confirm Korea’s social infrastructure using convenience stores that can immediately respond to disasters. Design/Methodology/Approach We used the data of the administrative safety statistics yearbook for disaster-related data, and newspaper articles and stock reports were used for convenience store-related data. Findings Having 48,000 convenience stores in Korea could be a great advantage in establishing a system to respond to disasters. Therefore, it seems necessary for the government to create a system that can use convenience stores as social infrastructure facilities. Research Implications Unlike previous studies, this study is the first to present an operating system and policy suggestions on how to use convenience stores. Based on this, it can help to develop a new type of disaster relief platform.
