Information Technology (IT) makes a great contribution towards improvement of productivity in construction industry. Because most of researches of construction industry's IT are focused on the whole field of the industry or development of information system, however, these have no regard for conditions in fields. Thus, this study proposes the requirements in order to improve the productivity and efficiency of field execution of construction industry. To achieve this aim, the surveys are conducted of the problems and conditions of IT application on site workers and managers. As a result, the followings are suggested: (1) user training should be exercised continuously, (2) infrastructure of IT constructed, (3) total management system of field execution developed, and (4) the development of IT system focused on fields. Therefore, this study provides meaningful proposal that can be set up basic direction toward IT investment and IT system development.

With the current global financial crisis, Korea's economic situation involves a great deal of uncertainty. As the construction industry in Korea has traditionally been one of the country's strongest engines of economic development, it is crucial to understand its current status when establishing government policy or corporate goals. Utilizing a variety of statistical data related to construction that has been published in Korea, this study analyzes the current status and performance of the industry in terms of technological development. Although it was found that the construction industry in Korea is currently unstable due to the influence of the global financial crisis, it is now expected to recover quickly thanks to the increase in the number of construction contracts in foreign countries. In addition, when the performance of national research and development is realized, it is expected that new construction technologies will contribute to the recovery of the Korean construction industry. Despite the benefits of construction contracts in foreign countries, there are harmful practices in the industry that need to be addressed, including the excessively fierce competition among domestic construction companies.

As the world construction market is rearranged by the level of technological capability, recently the technological capability in construction industry is developing rapidly. The important of measuring and analyzing technological capability in construction industry is gaining more and more emphasis. It enables to grasp the past and present situation of construction industry as well as to foresee changes in the future. However the concept of technological capability cannot be identified easily, as well as it is hard to compare that capability of construction industry among different countries. Although there have been numerous studies conducted on the technological capability of construction industry, most of the studies were in formsof surveys of specialists or industry professionals which lacked objectivity and sound basis for data. This study will be focused on investigating the methodology in exploiting and measuring surface of the earth and developing indicator and process to understand technological capability in construction industry through quantitative and statistical analysis. Then it will verify them through a case study.

The construction industry has a structure in which information asymmetry problems are complexly scattered compared to other industries. Since the construction industry classification system serves as a guideline for entering the construction market and can provide as a standard for construction consumers to select a supplier who can provide appropriate services, when judging the operation purpose or purpose of the construction industry registration system, it is very important to set up the system by rationally reviewing it. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of improvement in consideration of the risk factors related to the domestic construction industry registration industry classification system. To this end, we will conduct a case study on the construction industry classification system operated by overseas construction industry licenses or registration systems in Japan, the United States, and Australia, and compare it with the domestic industry classification system to derive implications and directions for improvement.

Currently, the construction industry is decreasing every year due to people's poor perception, high labor intensity, unstable employment structure, and welfare problems, as people avoid entry. Accordingly, this study investigated how to attract trainees and graduates from domestic construction education institutions to the construction industry. If institutional devices are prepared to prepare for the future by improving the welfare system such as unemployment benefits and retirement deductions in the construction industry, many trainees in their 20s and 30s will be attracted to the construction industry. If it helps expand hands-on education through on-site linkage and has the necessary technical skills for practice, it is believed that trainees and graduates in their 4s and 60s will be attracted to the construction industry.
