Abstract

Despite various government and institutional movements to promote implementation of smart construction, the utilization of smart technologies in the construction industry is still low compared to other industries. To take a systemic look at the impediments in the implementation of smart construction, this study identifies and analyzes the challenging factors of smart construction within the Korean construction industry. Through content analysis of relevant literature, including official documents, research reports, databases, 19 challenging factors have been identified. The intricate relationships among these challenging factors have been examined based on a hierarchy structure established by using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach. Furthermore, factors are classified into four distinct clusters by using the MICMAC analysis: driving factors, dependent factors, autonomous factors, and linkage factors. This classification delineates the interrelationships among the challenging factors and identifies the key factors that drive the system, which is different from that in traditional studies where the relative importance is generally given between factors. The findings will provide crucial information for policy designers and top-level authorities, indicating which challenging factors to prioritize limited resources and efforts. It will aid in formulating effective policies, standards, and regulations to foster the implementation of smart construction in the Korean construction industry.
