• Decision support methodology
• Prediction modelling
• Risk assessment analysis
• Southern parts of Thailand

The objectives of this research are to design and develop a practical decision support methodology with efficient prediction tool and risk assessment analysis of a terrorism insurgency situation. The proposed methodology consists of two main parts as: (1) the prediction modelling and (2) risk assessment analysis. The Improvised Explosive Device (IED) incidents from 2007 to 2013 in the capital district of Yala province, the southern part of Thailand, are collected and generated to the methodology as a case study implementation. The proposed methodology is capable of indicating and illustrating the risk assessment prediction results of terrorism insurgency incidents. Furthermore, the demonstration of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) based upon a Risk Assessment Radar Chart is investigated. In practical terms of applying the proposed methodology, the Thai Government can concentrate on a critical operation zone under a Risk Assessment Radar Chart, resulting in a more accurate operation and leading to a much lower number of casualties.
