The The Study of Hindrance in Adoption Blockchain Technology for Thailand's Construction Industry
Keywords:
Blockchain technology, Construction industry, Q methodologyAbstract
Today, the world is all driven by technology. The objective of this research was to study the challenge of applying blockchain technology in Thailand’s construction industry using Q Methodology and additional interviews. The interviewees consisted of 3 groups of experts, namely, educational personnel, technology agencies that use or know blockchain technology and the construction industry summing up to 14 people. The research results revealed that the respondents were divided into 5 groups those are: 1) Technology efficiency, 2) Thailand’s Technology acceptance, 3) Technology cost, 4) Difficulty of the technology implementation, and 5) Technological access. As of now, blockchain technology is still very novel to Thailand's construction industry, which lacks practical examples and needs to be studied further.
