Abstract: A small cover was introduced by Davis and Januszkiewicz as an $n$-dimensional closed manifold with a locally standard $Z_2{)}^n$-action such that its orbit space is a simple convex polytope. There exist a one-to-one correspondence between small covers and $(Z_2{)}^n$-colored polytopes. In this paper we study a construction of 3-dimensional small covers by using two operations called a connected sum and a surgery. These operations correspondent to combinatorial operations on $(Z_2{)}^3$-colored simple convex polytopes. We shall show that each 3-dimensional small cover can be constructed from $T^3$, $R{P}^3$ and $S^{1}imesR{P}^2$ with two different $(Z_2{)}^3$-actions by using these operations. This result is a generalization and an improvement of L"{u}-Yu's result.
