Abstract

The purpose of this study is to figure out factors that can influence construction disaster. To address the goal, this author applied the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to draw the factors of construction disaster and figured out the order of priority of the factors. The data were collected through an AHP survey conducted to 150 people concerned in construction safety including those in the academic circles or in the public sector as well as hands-on workers. Also, the hierarchy of the disaster factors consists of human factors, managerial factors, installation factors, and equipment factors, and total 4 factors in stratum 1 and 37 subfactors were drawn. According to the AHP analysis results, the factors in stratum 1 influencing construction disaster the most are the human factors. The next are equipment factors, installation factors, and managerial factors in order. Regarding the factors of construction disaster finally drawn in consideration of their weight, safety consciousness is found to the most important out of 37 subfactors. The results of this study have given important implications for preventing accidents in construction.
