The successful adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) leads to the subsequent need for improving management practices and stakeholders' relationships. Previous studies have attempted to explore solutions for non-technical issues; however, a systematic and quantitative review of the details of non-technical field, namely, the managerial areas of BIM (MA-BIM), seems to be missing. Hence, a scientometric approach is used to construct knowledge maps in MA-BIM, thereby allowing bibliometric data to provide an objective and accurate perspective in the field as a whole. Through keyword and abstract term analysis of 126 related papers published from 2007 to 2015, an integrated conceptual framework is proposed to summarize current status and structure future directions of MA-BIM based on five principal research areas. This study shows the transformation of MA-BIM from an individual approach to a wide-ranging organizational strategy. It provides new insights into managing BIM projects by referring to the accurate representation and analysis of previous research efforts.

In China, the social risks associated with housing demolition increasingly present a challenge to the success of urban redevelopment projects. In practice, these risks are interacting and are associated with various stakeholders. Previous studies have largely focused on what the risks are and how they affect redevelopment projects without giving sufficient consideration to key stakeholders and their linkages with risks. Therefore, we sought to use social network analysis to investigate social risks related to housing demolition, based on a stakeholder perspective. Stakeholder-associated risks and their interrelations were identified and subsequently quantified based on a literature analysis and interviews with key stakeholders. Using a network analysis we identified critical risks and their corresponding stakeholders. Social security schemes, efficient financial management, multi-dimensional impact assessments, policy analyses and adherence to laws, as well as public participation were proposed to mitigate social risks during housing demolition.
