Abstract

Communication is a complicated task while executing utility relocation projects in developed city. The main reason behind this is the number of stakeholders involved. This research tries to identify and classify the stakeholders during the utility relocation projects through interviews with the experts, questionnaire and clustering approach. First, 25 stakeholders and the 6 attributes, Power, Profit, Influence, Impact, Legitimacy, and Urgency are identified from interviews with the experienced engineers. The questionnaire is then developed based on the 6 attributes. The k-prototypes approach is adopted to analyze the results of the questionnaires and classify these stakeholders. The project managers can customize their communication techniques or choose suitable timing to involve the stakeholders with similar characteristics for each group in order to promote communication efficiency, and reach the anticipated objective.
