摘要：The use of Mobile Environmental Information System (MEIS) which integrates the use of mobile web,devices and wireless sensor networks has the potential to enhance environmental information management andcommunication processes among users and play an important role in field data acquisition and validation, to providereal-time environmental data monitoring and, more importantly, to provide warning signs in the areas of constructionactivities that require immediate corrective action. However, the understanding on the anticipated barriers for anyproposed systems that may arise during the implementation of the system are important to ensure the sustainability ofthe systems in the long run. In this paper, this issue was addressed through the prototype demonstration andevaluation sessions where the respondents had the opportunity to highlight the implementation barriers while testingthe functions of the ENSOCS web by using smartphones to perform the pre-defined tasks. As a result, thepractitioners in Malaysia and the UK had highlighted that these barriers include return on investment, operationalcost, legality issues, work procedures issues, technology and technical issues, technology adoption barriers andnetwork infrastructure. Therefore, from this research, the developers of mobile applications would obtain valuableinput with regards to understanding the requirements of construction environmental management teams as well as thelimitation for the implementation of MEIS within the construction industry.
