ANNEX C GLOBAL TERRORISM INDEX METHODOLOGY The GTI ranks 162 countries based on four indicators weighted over five years. The Occupied Palestinian Territories is the only region that records notable amounts of terrorism that is not included in the index. 48 The GTI score for a country in a given year is a based on a unique scoring system to account for the relative impact of incidents in the year. The four factors counted in each country’s yearly score, are: total number of terrorist incidents in a given year total number of fatalities caused by terrorists in a given year total number of injuries caused by terrorists in a given year a measure of the total property damage from terrorist incidents in a given year. TABLE 8 INDICATOR WEIGHTS USED IN THE GLOBAL TERRORISM INDEX DIMENSION Total number of incidents 1 Total number of fatalities 3 WEIGHT Total number of injuries 0.5 Sum of property damages measure Between 0 and 3 depending on severity Each of the factors is weighted between zero and three and a five year weighted average is applied to try and reflect the latent psychological effect of terrorist acts over time. The weightings shown in table one was determined by consultation with the GPI Expert Panel. The greatest weighting is attributed to a fatality. The property damage measure is further disaggregated into four bands depending on the measured scope of the property damage inflicted by one incident. These bandings are shown in table 2, incidents causing less than US$1 million are accorded a weighting of 1, between $1 million and $1 billion a 2, and more than $1 billion a 3. It should be noted a great majority of incidents are coded in the GTD as ‘unknown’, thus scoring nil, with ‘catastrophic’ events being extremely rare. TABLE 9 PROPERTY DAMAGE LEVELS AS DEFINED IN THE GTD AND WEIGHTS USED IN THE GLOBAL TERRORISM INDEX CODE/ WEIGHT DAMAGE LEVEL 0 Unknown 1 2 Minor (likely < $1 million) Major (likely between $1 million and $1 billion) 3 Catastrophic (likely > $1 billion) HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE OF A COUNTRY’S GTI SCORE To assign a score to a country, each incident is rated according to the four measures, the measures are multiplied by their weighting factor and aggregated. This is done for all incidents, and then all incidents for a given country are aggregated to give the country score. To illustrate, assume Table 1 depicts a hypothetical country’s records for a given year. GLOBAL TERRORISM INDEX 2015 | Annexes 95
