Abstract

The construction sector is in need of further self-development due to recent innovations in technology. This is because the environmental problems which have been handled seriously all over the world in recent years, and studies related to the way of creating requirements and measures for healthy construction environments have been emphasized. For adoption of new technological construction products in that sector; a system which will encompass designers, contractors and users is required. For selection and widespread use of new technological products, the decision-making is not only sufficient but also cultural and socio-economic factors and conditions are gaining in importance.

For the implementation and control of the new construction product assigned, a process of testing is required. The process of testing should be structured by allowing the use of new technological products in a system of continuous self-improvement by preventing the usage without change for a substantial amount of time. All of these processes have been examined within the scope of the doctoral thesis in model, which was developed for the adoption of technological innovation. In this study, the aim is to contribute to the creation of an appropriate adoption roadmap for constant self-renewal and self-improvement of construction environments, which are sensitive to the environment.
