System for Security and Prevention of Terrorism Attacks at MRT Lebak Bulus, Jakarta

Abstract

Public transportation systems such as the Lebak Bulus MRT are likely to become prime targets for terrorists due to the potential for disruption, destruction, and possible escape of perpetrators, due to size, openness, accessibility, lack of identification of passengers, and the number of people carried by the transportation system. Risk prevention and preparedness in the Lebak Bulus MRT transportation system is critical to internal security and requires proper analysis of asset vulnerabilities, clear awareness of criticality, possible countermeasures, and adequate methods to design, scale and optimize protection. This study uses a literature study research method. The author uses previous research sources that are relevant to the topic under study, especially related to the security system and prevention of terrorism attacks at MRT Lebak Bulus Jakarta. CPTED is a complex strategy that will include a variety of interventions and behavioral responses from different groups of users. CPTED involves territoriality, surveillance, access control, activity support, image/management, and target setting. In the Mass Rapid Transportation (MRT) Lebak Bulus, the vulnerability to terrorist attacks can be identified based on physical security theory. The main vulnerability is the MRT central depot. All MRT control is in the central depot, not on the mechanics. The MRT driver is only in charge of opening and closing the train doors, so that the control of the MRT, which is located at the Lebak Bulus central depot, places the vulnerability to hijackings by terrorists.

“…Previous studies have argued that CPTED practices affect human behaviour and improve the sense of safety (Mihinjac & Saville, 2019;Thani et al, 2016). In Indonesia, Jadiyantara and Sukabdi (2022) found that vulnerability to terrorist attacks at MRT Lebak Bulus Jakarta could be identified based on Physical Security Theory, and that implementation of CPTED in the design of the security system contributed to continuous safety protection of the passengers.…”
