Abstract
Uncertainty in the homologation of drone legislation for nations has resulted from the argument over whether to control developing technology. In the field of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) there is a lack of clarity in stablishing the policies. The intricacies involved in assessing risk probabilities, such as weight, altitude, commercial purpose, involvement of personnel, and other relevant variables, prompt countries to establish legislative frameworks for their Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) policies. This is driven by the recognition that homogeneity in certain application forms of UAS is achieved or discovered at varying rates. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive ontologies behind of regulating UAS by utilising standard cases of operations or ideal scenarios of application in which practices outside of these frames should be ethically evaluated for regulation in the field of construction. A longitudinal study was used to observe the policy changes, evolution of the technology, applications, and trends. In addition, 28 interviews and 30 surveys were conducted involving policy makers, practitioners, service providers, and academics in the Dominican Republic to identify their position in the adequate process of adopting UAS. The findings present that the implications in policy involve Building Information Modelling, safety aviation, technical inspection manuals, and design of cities by ruling the types and capabilities of UAS adopted for construction companies.
