Özet
Digital twins offer solutions to efficiency and decision¬making problems of the construction industry by expanding the capabilities of current technologies. However, their acceptance and adoption have not been thoroughly examined, creating barriers to their implementation. This study proposes a conceptual framework in the context of leveraging Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for digital twins in construction through a systematic review of existing literature. The framework includes a modified TAM enhanced by constructs from the Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) to tailor TAM for digital twin technology. The framework also outlines the model constructs, scale item and target audience selection procedures.
