Managing knowledge effectively is a critical factor for the competitive power of a company. There are efforts to use knowledge as an important resource in many industrial areas and likewise the interest in knowledge management is growing in the construction industry. Nevertheless, there are limitations in the current capture and reuse of knowledge in the construction industry owing to the unique characteristics of the knowledge created during the processes of projects. The knowledge produced during the processes of construction projects is project-oriented, experiential and context specific and due to these characteristics the reuse of knowledge is difficult. In this research, we focus on capturing and identifying the characteristics of construction knowledge and propose a method to apply these characteristics in developing an ontology based construction knowledge retrieval system to improve construction knowledge retrieval and enhance knowledge reuse.

Being in a knowledge-based industry, many construction organizations are seeking to manage their own knowledge in an effective way. To manage knowledge, the organizations must motivate in-house people to share their knowledge. However, some barriers to knowledge sharing do exist and researches on these barriers considering construction organizations' characteristics seem rare. This study aims to identify key barriers to knowledge sharing considering the characteristics of construction organizations. Based on the identification, strategic responses to each key barrier are presented in two perspectives of technical and behavioral approach to activate knowledge sharing.

MOCT(Ministry of Construction St Transportation) suggested "A Plan for Implementation of Knowledge-based Economy for the Construction Industry" to add high value to a construction industry. by means of knowledge-based management. However, there is no knowledge management system which considers characteristics of a domestic construction industry. So a useful knowledge vanished the moment a company terminated a construction Uoject. Therefore, it is necessary to develop "An application method of a knowledge management system for the construction industry" which takes a real environment into consideration. This study aims to present the road map of a knowledge management system which helps the bodies of the construction industry(government, research center/university, enterprise, etc) to do a knowledge activity efficiently. To accomplish this objective, we analyzed overall knowledge management activities. In addition we suggested an implementation direction and strategy of a knowledge management system for the construction industry. As results of this study, we presented the road map of a knowledge management system for the construction industry, which is composed of policy forum, study forum, professional forum, research forum and knowledge 8t information DB. We expect that results of this study will be used as a basis for implementing the knowledge portal that brings a construction industry to a high value added industry.

향후 미래의 산업에 있어서는 조직의 노하우, 인적자원의 의욕과 역량, 고객 만족도와 같은 보이지 않는 무형의 자산이 더 많은 기업가치를 창출하는 시대이다. 이러한 무형의 지식자산을 어떻게 운영하느냐가 기업의 성장 잠재력과 경쟁력에 영향을 미치게 된다. 건설업 또한 이러한 경영 패러다임의 변화에 따라, 지식경영을 도입하고자 노력하고 있다. 대형 건설업체의 경우 지식관리 시스템을 구축하여 자체적으로 자사의 지식을 관리하려는 시도를 보이고 있으나, 건설업의 지식자산에 대한 정의와 구성요소를 명확히 제시하지는 못하고 있는 실정이다. 지식자산의 분류방안에 대하여 수행된 기존의 연구들은 지식자산의 분류가 건설업을 기반으로 만들어진 것이 아니기 때문에, 이를 건설업의 지식자산 분류에 일방적으로 적용하는 것보다는 건설업의 특성을 고려한 건설업 지식자산에 대한 정의와 분류방안이 필요하다. 또한, 이러한 지식자산 분류체계를 바탕으로 하여, 향후, 기업 지식자산을 위한 평가모델 작성, 지식관리 시스템 구축을 위한 지식 맵으로의 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Recently, a lot of domestic construction companies have implemented Knowledge Management System. However, most of the knowledge in the construction fields still cannot written down on papers, and it is just locked in people's heads. The purpose of this study was to analyze the current situation of knowledge sharing in the construction fields. For this research, questionnaires were distributed and the results of this study was as follows; the essential factor of successful knowledge sharing is not introducing a high quality of electronic system but developing culture of knowledge sharing. When positive culture of knowledge sharing is combined with technical infrastructure, knowledge sharing will be actively promoted.

지식경영이 기업의 생존에 있어 없어서는 안되는 패러다임으로 여겨지면서, 기업은 지식관리시스템 혹은 기타 시스템을 이용하여 무형지식을 관리하려는 노력하고 있다. 그래서, 각 기업은 자사에 맞는 지식관리시스템을 개발하고 자산에 맞는 지식분류체계를 작성하고 활용하고 있다. 건설산업 또한 예외는 아니다 대기업을 중심으로 이루어지고 있지만, 현 건설업체에서 가지고 있는 지식분류체계는 타 산업(제조업, 금융 등)과의 차별성을 느낄 수 없는 전 산업적인 지식 분류체계를 가지고 있다. 그래서, 건설업이 가지고 암묵지를 형식지화 하는데 더욱 어려움이 있는 것이다. 또한, 지식 분류체계를 작성하고 있더라도 이런 지식을 평가하기 위한 활용방안 및 정량적 기준이 미흡하다. 본 연구는 건설업체에서 실시하고 있는 KMS을 벤치마킹하여 문제점을 찾고, 문헌조사를 통하여 건설 지식분류체계를 통하여 공기, 스킬, 비용 등의 관점으로 지식을 평가할 수 있는 모델 제시하고자 한다.

As a knowledge-based economy is emerging, knowledge management (KM) is being rapidly disseminated in both academic circles and the business world. Accordingly, how to effectively manage knowledge is vital to the survival and advance of a company, particularly in project-based industries such as construction. For these reasons, construction companies have adopted IT-based Knowledge management systems (KMS), which is the technology platform and infrastructure that an organization employs to support knowledge management. However, many construction companies have spent resources on developing a KMS that only focus on codification. Furthermore, small and medium-sized companies have limited resources to afford extensive investments. This research addresses the problems found in the current KMS and develops a web-based construction knowledge management portal (CKMP). To achieve these objectives, a case study is conducted and requirements for implementing KM are identified. Based on the identified requirements, this paper builds CKMP using Expert Index (EI), blog, ontology based knowledge retrieval, and wikiblog. The most important functionality of CKMP is their fundamentals to synchronize and support KM process. In order to validate the CKMP, a pilot test with actual users is conducted, and the usability of the system is compared with the current systems. This study is relevant to both the construction industry and academia, as it provides a means of enhancing the performance of KM.

Knowledge has been considered one of the important elements that determine our future. Competitive power of an enterprise has also been transformed from labor, capital, and technology-oriented to knowledge-oriented. Current construction environment is experiencing overall decrease of number of construction contracts due to opening of domestic construction market and economic slump, problems on methods of receiving orders/bidding, and change of costumers' attitude, which intensify competition, therefore many companies consider adopting knowledge management to secure their competitive power. However, there are difficulties in adopting knowledge management and increasing the use by establishing management plan, Performance Measurement, and knowledge maintenance system in reality. Therefore, this study is to provide assistance to successful realization of knowledge management by suggesting development plan of knowledge management that enables knowledge management more efficient with certain goals.

A number of documents containing important and useful knowledge have been generated over time in the construction industry. Such text-based knowledge plays an important role in the construction industry for decision-making and business strategy development by being used as best practice for upcoming projects, delivering lessons learned for better risk management and project control. Thus, practical and usable knowledge creation from construction documents is necessary to improve business efficiency. This study proposes a knowledge creating system from construction documents using text mining and the design comprises three main steps - text mining preprocessing, weight calculation of each term, and visualization. A system prototype was developed as a pilot study of the system design. This study is significant because it validates a knowledge creating system design based on text mining and visualization functionality through the developed system prototype. Automated visualization was found to significantly reduce unnecessary time consumption and energy for processing existing data and reading a range of documents to get to their core, and helped the system to provide an insight into the construction industry.
