Abstract
Abstract With the growth of high-density living, disputes experienced by residents in multi-owned buildings (MOBs) have become an ongoing challenge in urban areas. A significant number of the disputations have found their root cause in the issues concerning improper use and management of MOBs by residents. It stems from their inaccurate understanding of ownership rights that are inherently 3D but using 2D cadastral survey plans, authoritative documents of ownership. This research explores the ability of building information modeling (BIM) to address required information for improving the perception of ownership rights that affect resident behaviors in managing MOBs. An open data model of BIM is extended to accommodate the necessary information for preventing resident misbehaviors that led to dispute cases in Victoria state, Australia. In this study, we implement BIM data of an MOB where a real dispute happened to demonstrate the validity of the enriched data model on the information delivery and an enhanced understanding of ownership rights. It is confirmed that the use of BIM facilitates the alleviation of the misbehaviors by informing residents with accurate communication of ownership rights and could support the avoidance of disputes in MOBs.

Summary
As the population residing in multi-owned buildings (MOBs) grows, high-density living attracts an increasing incidence of disputes among residents (owners and occupiers) (Blandy, Dupuis, & Dixon, 2010; Dredge & Coiacetto, 2011). The legal basis of MOBs varies among countries, the arrangement of ownership rights acts as a management mechanism for assets and resident behaviors (Easthope, Randolph, & Judd, 2012). It means that the harmonious living in MOBs requires the residents to be aware of how to behave in MOBs peacefully according to their ownership. Ownership of MOBs generally takes a composite form that combines individual ownership of a lot (units or flats) and coownership of the common properties (CPs) that are owned and managed by groups of all or specific lot owners (Cagdaset al., 2018). As highlighted by Cradduck (2013), a clear interpretation of ownership RRRs, which is an artifact of knowledge for MOB residents, potentially prevents behavioral issues causing the disputes, such
