Employee Perspective on the Impact of using GIS on Highway and Transportation Construction Project Success
Keywords:
GIS, Construction Project Success, Highway, street, and bridge projectAbstract
This survey research effort investigated the Geographic Information System (GIS) functions in highway and transportation construction-project success based on employee perspective. The population included engineers and IT professionals in the United States. The sample included members of various organizations who are classified under the construction industry.
The high percentage of respondents who reported little knowledge about how to use the GIS functions may cause erroneous conclusions about the use of the GIS. The lack of knowledge was the primary reason that people in the field do not use the GIS appropriately. Moreover, it seems that executives have more skills or knowledge about the GIS than those in lower-level positions.
