AB - Disaster is a subject that should not be overlooked in consideration of human history. Humanity has made great efforts to cope with and overcome disasters, but faces more diverse and greater risks. Disasters can be classified into natural disasters and social disasters, this study focuses on the social disaster caused by the explosion. The object of this study is ‘Iri station explosion accident’ which happened on November 11, 1977. In this study, we have identified how social disasters were perceived in the late 1970s, and how disaster recovery was achieved by any logic. The memory of the Korean War played an important role in the early recognition of the Iri station explosion accident. The scars of war misunderstood the explosion as bombing and were deep enough to leave the evacuation. ‘Security’ and ‘anti-communism’ have had an impact even after some identification of explosives as the cause of the explosion. The cause of the explosion was focused more on the individual’s negligence and corruption of the practitioner than on the structural aspect. Based on this, the responsibility for the explosion and the boundary of punishment were determined, and the corporation had a considerable financial burden. The victim’s corpse handling and funeral were driven with rigorous field control and emergency recovery. As a result, some doubts were not fully resolved. The restoration of the accident scene was carried out like a military operation, and it was embodied as ‘new Iri construction’. The recognition and response logic of this social disaster shows that it is very different to today.
