Abstract
In the recent information-oriented age, various information technologies (ITs) have been introduced in construction industries. However, since construction ITs tend to be employed by the demand of the government or owners rather than the demand of information accepters (users), this tendency inhibits the spread of user-friendly construction ITs. In order to find these inhibitive factors, this research conducted practical studies, based on Davis' technology acceptance model, for construction ITs' acceptance according to the information accepters' (users) features. This study was hypothesized whether or not each inner and outer factors with respect to construction ITs are influential to the information accepters (users). As a result of this study, the primary factors which can maximize the usefulness and ease of use and should be considered when developing new information technologies were suggested.
