Abstract Recently, workers on construction sites can hardly understand their tasks and the process of the tasks because the construction projects are becoming large and complex. Due to the complexity, workers need a tool that can help them understand their works and some paper-based manuals exist to support them. However, the existing paper-based manuals are not actively used by workers due to the low credibility of information on the manual. In particular, paper-based manual can not be updated frequently because those manuals have to be manually updated by experts. Thus, the credibility of information is decreased and the decrease let the users distrust information of the paper-based manual. Therefore, this research analyzed the feature of wiki-based system and suggested an wiki-based IETM(Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) system model that can be modified by users, and then conducted a survey through a prototype based on urban regeneration project. The result of the survey indicated that wiki-based IETM can improve the stakeholder communication by reinforcing the process of creating knowledge as well as knowledge itself.
