“…The growing rate of energy consumption from 8.92 gigatonnes of oil equivalent per year (Gtoe/y) in 2011 to the predicted value of 14 Gtoe/y in 2020 [30] clearly shows how fast resources on earth are being depleted. This fact accompanied by ozone layer destruction [31], climate change and global warming [32] together attract worldwide attention to the subject of sustainability [33]. Moreover, by going deeper into its real practical instances, the concept of sustainability divulges its inherent interdisciplinary nature, which gathers miscellaneous fields of science together from environmentally friendly electrochemical engineering to earth science, and from green synthesis and technology to conservation biology and ecological economics [34].…”

Urban and rural areas are the cradles of human development and civilization as all practical progress and feasible products have emerged from these places. Having a clear understanding of the sustainability of these areas, especially the progress of research in this field, is highly important. This study undertakes a comprehensive scientometric analysis to visualize and quantitatively measure the outcome of the scientific enterprise to construct sustainable urban and rural areas. The scientific productivity of recorded publications, their impacts, and their importance were systematically measured in diverse aspects by virtue of ten distinctive techniques. A critical assessment of the respected criteria for sustainable urban and rural areas is presented in order to further clarify its boundaries with other related topics, as well as providing a clear benchmark for future studies. After screening the search results between 1900 and 2018 on the Web of Science database, 7397 publications explicitly related to sustainable urban and rural areas were extracted and analyzed by the CiteSpace software via the relevant bibliometric indicators. The results of this study shed light on the trends and patterns, consisting of kernel research areas, countries, journals, institutions, and how these entities have been concatenated, inside the bibliographic records around sustainable urban and rural areas. The findings facilitate in identifying the barriers and weakness in the current sustainable urban and rural areas research, and consequently help in identifying auspicious directions for prospective investigations.

“…Building information modeling (BIM) refers to the integration of technological and organizational solutions. The solutions can not only enhance inter-organizational and multidisciplinary collaboration, but also improve the efficiency and quality of the planning, design, construction, and management of buildings [1][2][3][4][5]. Although the value of BIM is now widely recognized compared with the traditional drafting practices, it is not possible to reap the full benefits without awareness, commitment, and capabilities of implementing BIM as well as a realistic view of the adoption status.…”

Reducing Critical Hindrances to Building Information Modeling Implementation: The Case of the Singapore Construction Industry

2019

The Singaporean government has made building information modeling (BIM) implementation mandatory in new building projects with gross floor areas over 5000 m2, but the implementation is still plagued with hindrances such as lacking project-wide collaboration. The purposes of this study are to identify critical factors hindering BIM implementation in Singapore’s construction industry, analyze their interrelationships, and identify strategies for reducing these hindrances. The results from a survey of 87 experts and five post-survey interviews in the Singaporean construction industry identified 21 critical hindrances, among which “need for all key stakeholders to be on board to exchange information” was ranked top. These hindrances were categorized into lack of collaboration and model integration (LCMI), lack of continuous involvement and capabilities (LCIC), and lack of executive vision and training (LEVT). LEVT and LCIC contributed to LCMI; LEVT caused LCIC. The proposed framework implying the key hindrances and their corresponding managerial strategies can help practitioners identify specific adjustments to their BIM implementation activities, which enables to efficiently achieve enhanced BIM implementation. The hindrances identified in this study facilitate overseas BIM implementers to customize their own lists of hindrances.

“…With the deteriorating environment and increasing pollution caused by urbanization, building sustainability has been the focus of much recent attention [1]. As one of the biggest energy consumers, building contributes approximately 40% to total energy consumption and one third of the annual amount of global greenhouse gas emissions [2].…”

This paper presents the first inclusive scientometric review of the economic areas of green building (GBE). The aim is to methodically examine and summarize the state-of-the-art of the GBE body of knowledge. To this end, this study analyses 1713 GBE-related bibliographic records retrieved from the Web of Science by using the quantitative method of knowledge mapping. The knowledge base, knowledge domain, and knowledge evolution of how they interacted with each other are explored using document co-citation analysis and keywords co-citation analysis of the existing body of literature. The research findings are informative in recognizing and interpreting the underlying structure and trends in GBE. A knowledge map provides a valuable and instructive understanding of the evolution and status quo of the GBE knowledge body, as well as assisting in recognizing the gaps and deficiencies involved. The results will help in understanding how GBE knowledge is evolving and its role played in green building, and thus provide suggestions of how academic research can enhance sustainability practices in terms of economic area in the future.
