2. Questionnaire Survey at WASS 2012 in SingaporeSummary

From 563 attendees at the WASS seminar held on 10th and 11th of May, 155(including 138 from Singaporeans) questionnaire answer sheets were collected.The following show a summary of this questionnaire survey.

1. The fact that almost all the answers were either “excellent” or “good” inresponse to Q6(How do you rate this seminar overall?) shows high appraisalof this seminar by the participants. This is backed by the very low rate (2%) ofneutral response(“fair”), which may have been a bit of a compliment to theorganizer.

2. Many Singaporean participants picked “achievement of productivity” and“shortening of work period” as the answer in response to Q2(What is thelargest benefit of advancing steel structure?). This tendency is prominentamong the design consultants.Since the main objective of this seminar was to promote productivity and

work period shortening by advancing the use of steel structures, while therewas no such information available with regards to this issue, we may well saythat we have succeeded in doing so on a certain level.

12

3. As for Q3(What is the issue to be addressed in advancing steelstructure?), many Singaporeans chose “design knowledge” and“construction technology” together with the somewhat anticipated answer of“cost”; this implies the potential expectation for Japan-origin technology,which can also be affirmed by the responses to Q4(For buildings, what doyou expect from Japanese firms?).4. Interpretation of each query leads to a strong interest in architecturalaesthetics by Singaporeans. Also worth noting is that there were severalcomments on 1) environmental and 2) fireproof aspects of steel, and someinterest in 3) earthquake resistance of steel.5. It is particularly worth noting that there were multiple comments in responseto Q5(Please explain your expectations of Singapore governmentregarding buildings, if any.) from Singaporeans such as ”Construction oficonic steel structures in Singapore.” or “Offer more incentives forprojects using innovative and more productive methods of design andconstruction.”6. There were many who expressed strong expectation for the nextseminar to be held in response to the Q7(free filling questionnaire).
