This thesis studies user involvement in the Military Construction Program (MCP) Facility Acquisition Process. Written due to a lack of information on the subject of user involvement, it is intended to measure how well the user understands his role in the MCP process and the actual level of user involvement in the MCP programming and design phases. The study also examines whether or not a relationship exists between level of user involvement and degree of change required on MCP projects. The study surveyed users who had participated in the MCP process to measure their understanding of their role and level of involvement in the process. Research findings indicate that users have a degree of understanding of and involvement in the MCP process that falls somewhere between an adequate degree and a high degree. There were certain areas where a need for improved user understanding was indicated. The study found no relationship existed between level of user involvement in the MCP process and degree of change on MCP projects.
