Nielsen, Y; Kumas, N and Ciftci, C (2006) ICT use in Turkish construction sector: Existing laws and regulations. In: Boyd, D (ed.) Proceedings of 22nd Annual ARCOM Conference, 4-6 September 2006, Birmingham, UK.
Abstract
In terms of information and construction technology (ICT) many construction organizations are at a level of maturity enabling them to realize significant business benefits through the deployment of advanced ICT systems. However, the necessity of legal validity in all information, even at project level, has proven to be an impediment for the sectors full embrace of ICT. The contractual relations cause dependency of 'official' paper copies, and this contributes to a slower rate of ICT implementation compared to other sectors. In this study, recent legislative issues of ICT usage in Turkish construction sector are examined and the current legal re-structuring of the existing related laws and regulations to use ICT in a legal and contractually valid environment is discussed.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
