“…In terms of technology, research on the application of BIM was found that used virtual geometric data to perform numerical calculations such as pedestrian spatial experience according to specific time and place [93], pedestrian evacuation simulations [94], occupancy modelling using a multi-objective optimization algorithm and the queuing approach [95,96] and analyzing the use of space within buildings [97]. Other technology-related papers were found, where a geographical information system (GIS) was used to study built environments, which led to the use of space syntax metrics to observe pedestrian volume [98] and information and communication technologies were applied in a smart city to search for determining factors that allow networking in public spaces [99].…”

The development of smart cities has led to transforming modern city operations by applying emerging technologies from the fourth industrial revolution such as the Internet of Things, BIM and machine learning. To prepare for the future development of cities, it is necessary to investigate the current status of city development, research topics and the direction toward future cities. In this study, a systematic literature review was conducted following the combination of literature review guides by Kitchenham and the PRISMA statement. The review identified 141 peer-reviewed academic papers from web-based archives, such as Web of Science and SCOPUS, that were categorized into five topics related to smart cities and urban areas. The technologies applied in the research were analyzed to determine the direction future cities should take based on current smart cities and emerging technologies that will shape individuals’ daily lives. However, it was discovered that research papers on critical areas, such as mobility and management, were lacking compared to those on building design and urban planning. This paper concludes with an example of a future urban area that has been transformed due to adoption of future mobility technology to address the shortcomings of the reviewed literature on building and urban environments.

“…In other sectors beyond these, MCDM is the only dominant decision-making method identified including in Energy [6,52], Automotive [53,54], Manufacturing [55,56], PSS [57,58] and Supply Chain [59]. In all these latter sectors, it perhaps suggests that the emergent appreciation of the complex dynamics and the need for tools that cope with it are the drivers towards this trend.…”

“…It is, however, vital that decision making accounts for this vagueness to better represent the dynamics and improve the rigour of the results. Recently, many MCDM and Hybrid techniques have applied the fuzzy sets as a way of addressing this [50,59,89,92]; while Grey numbers have also been used [74].…”

A Utilitarian Decision—Making Approach for Front End Design—A Systematic Literature Review

The complexity of construction processes often means interaction between various stakeholders, activities and tasks in order to deliver the expected outcomes. The intensity and dynamics of front-end design (FED) mean decision techniques and methods are important in supporting projects benefits delivery more importantly those based on utility of decision making. This paper explores a new utilitarian decision-making approach based on a systematic literature review of FED decision making. It presents the state of the art in design decision making concepts and analysis of tools over the last 10 years (2009–2019). From a total of 111 peer-reviewed journal papers, fifteen decision-making techniques are identified as dominant in design decision making, broadly grouped in four major categories as explanatory/rational, Multi Criteria Decision Making techniques (MCDM), Hybrid and Visual methods. The review finds that the most applied of the MCDM is Quality Function Deployment (QFD); while among the rational/explanatory techniques is set-based design (SBD). While there is limited application of Multi Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) in decision making, the paper finds that the robust consistency and structured approach better captures the intricate dynamics of FED; including modelling of the subjectivity, interdependences and uncertainty in design discourse.

“…This is because individuals in hospitals are highly responsive to the physical conditions of the building [8]. In contrast to conventional spaces, hospitals' elastic spaces are more effective at aligning user activities with the spatial entity [9], thereby enhancing adaptability. This approach, which enhances architectural resilience through flexibility, can significantly improve user adaptability [10].…”

Operational inefficiencies in healthcare buildings and sustainability issues have become increasingly prominent. The root cause of this phenomenon is the irregular and incomplete structured data related to hospital user activities and spaces that are difficult to resolve using traditional manual methods. In order to solve this problem, an automated mapping approach is presented for hospital user activity and space. Using the Revit API technology and the C# language on the Visual Studio platform, a program for automated mapping is developed. It achieves the automatic mapping of hospital user activities and spaces, along with automatic calculation of utilization rates. An illustrative case study is conducted, focusing on the activity data and building space utilization of healthcare users at Shanghai Renji Hospital. The results indicate that (1) This method can realize the automatic combination of hospital user activities and hospital spaces, and hospital administrators can optimize the utilization rate of hospital spaces quickly and accurately. (2) This approach is highly adaptable, especially to changes in hospital user activities and hospital spatial data. (3) This method promotes the sustainable development of healthcare buildings and has great practical application value.
