건설산업의 지식․정보화 시스템 구축방안

Abstract

This study analyzes the establishment of knowledge-information system in the construction industry, which will play a key role in strengthening the competitiveness of productivity in the 21st century. There has been no systemic study on this field, although there have been a lot of studies on other industries. Hence, this study tries to investigate main reasons, current situation, problems of the establishment of knowledge base in the construction industry from a macroscopic-view, and finally derive directions and strategies for improvement. First, the structure of construction industry is explained. Construction process and roles of each construction agent are analyzed and flow of information or knowledge is specified. Accordingly, the real meaning of establishment of Knowledge-Information System in the construction industry is defined by showing anticipated effects of knowledge- information foundation. Then structure of demand and supply for construction information and knowledge is illustrated. Furthermore, each construction agent's demand and supply structure for construction information and knowledge is traced: owner of construction works, construction companies, and skilled technical hands. The followings are presented as specific strategies. 1) Roles of each construction agent are rearranged and reorganized, by considering the establishment of knowledge base in the construction industry. 2) Every construction agent does construction activities based on knowledge. The government should introduce different management technic, renovate their organization and operation, support construction agents, and improve public service. 3) A comprehensive managing system for the construction of information and knowledge system should be established. This system unifies every agent and current construction information projects in the construction industry. 4) To support and realize the upper strategies, improvement of system. Finally, directions and detailed strategies are presented. Basic directions to the establishment of knowledge based construction industry are summarized as follows. Characteristics of the construction industry and every construction agent should be considered. Optimal distribution of resources could be realized by providing every information and knowledge to those who need them. Self-sustainable structure of knowledge-based construction industry have to be established by inducing all construction agents to participate in the process voluntarily.
