Abstract

In order to encourage digital transformation in the traditional construction industry, the Chinese government has promoted 24 pilot cities to develop intelligent construction. The practices of intelligent construction are disparate in all 24 pilot cities. Given this context, it is important to effectively and comprehensively evaluate the level of intelligent construction in these pilot cities. This study thus evaluates the development of intelligent construction in different pilot cities. By conducting an in-depth analysis of the existing literature and policies, an evaluation system consisting of five dimensions and a total of 30 indicators is established. The entropy method and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are used to evaluate the development of intelligent construction in 23 pilot cities. The research findings indicate that the development of intelligent construction in different pilot cities is uneven, with clear gaps between first-tier cities and Western cities. The development of industries, the cultivation of talent, and economic growth are relatively satisfactory, while technological innovation and digital infrastructure are insufficient. Several suggestions are proposed to promote the development of intelligent construction, including expediting the construction of intelligent infrastructure, enhancing digital transformation, promoting technological innovation, and implementing talent cultivation strategies.

Abstract

Stakeholder management is a crucial component in the implementation of off-site construction (OSC) projects, while stakeholder mapping serves as a practical technique to facilitate an in-depth understanding of different project stakeholders. Various topics have been explored in the OSC stakeholder management field, but research on OSC stakeholder analysis based on stakeholder mapping is still lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) stakeholder mapping models. Data were collected from 167 stakeholders involved in OSC projects. The 2D model utilizes a power–interest matrix to classify 12 identified OSC stakeholder groups, while the 3D model further explores these groups by incorporating an additional dimension of stakeholder salience across different stages of project implementation. The results show that OSC stakeholders predominantly fall into the “key players” or “minimal effort” categories across various project stages. Key players include the client, modular manufacturer, main contractor, government, and designer, while the public and industry organizations generally require minimal effort. Additionally, stakeholders such as the supervision company, supplier, and subcontractor play key roles at specific stages, with varying levels of salience throughout the project lifecycle, reflecting shifts in their influence and involvement. The findings contribute to stakeholder management knowledge by providing an in-depth understanding of OSC stakeholders’ interrelationships during project implementation, especially through uncovered stakeholder mapping in the OSC field.

Abstract

This study, grounded in psychological capital theory and the work resource model, investigates the impact of construction workers’ work resilience on their leisure sports participation. An interdisciplinary integration model was developed, incorporating work resilience, safety and health awareness, and leisure sports participation, providing empirical evidence for enhancing the well-being of the construction workforce. The study specifically examines the roles of physiological resilience, psychological resilience, social support, and occupational engagement in this context. A survey conducted with 663 construction workers in China and Korea revealed the following: (1) physiological resilience, psychological resilience, social support, and occupational engagement significantly and positively influence workers’ leisure sports participation; (2) safety and health awareness serves as a significant mediator between work resilience and leisure sports participation among construction workers. These findings underscore the importance of improving the work environment and creating semi-natural restorative landscapes to promote the physical and mental health of construction workers, as well as their engagement in leisure sports. The study calls for governmental and community initiatives, including policy support and resource allocation, to comprehensively enhance the overall well-being of construction workers. Full article

Abstract

A subway station’s operation is susceptible to accidents when there is a high-pressure gas pipeline overlaying it, and analyzing the correlations between the safety influencing factors (SIFs) in this operating situation can provide paths to reduce safety accidents. Thus, this paper investigated the coupling correlations between the SIFs. We firstly identified the SIFs during subway station operation under a high-pressure pipeline (SSOUHP) based on a literature review and discussion with experts. Then, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and coupling degree analysis (CDA) were combined to assess the coupling correlations between the SIFs, and Y subway station was selected to test the proposed hybrid coupling analysis approach. Research results show that (a) 23 second-level SIFs were identified and these SIFs can be summed up into five first-level SIFs, namely, human-related SIFs, pipeline-related SIFs, station-related SIFs, environment-related SIFs, and management-related SIFs; (b) the proposed hybrid approach can be used to evaluate the coupling correlations between SIFs; (c) of the coupling situations during Y subway station’s operation, the internal coupling correlations among environment-related SIFs, the coupling correlations between pipe-related SIFs and environment-related SIFs, and the coupling correlations among human-related SIFs, pipe-related SIFs, and environment-related SIFs are all greater than 1, and the coordination degree is 0.778, 0.781, and 0.783, respectively, which is a high security risk; (d) the overall coupling degree among all SIFs during Y subway station’s operation is 0.995 and the coordination degree is 0.809, which is a low safety risk. The research can enrich knowledge in the safety evaluation area, and provide a reference for onsite safety management. The results are basically consistent with the conclusion of the enterprise report, which verifies the scientificity and validity of the evaluation method. Full article

Abstract

With the advancement of China’s construction industry and the rapid pace of urbanization, there has been heightened concern about and demand for improved construction environments. Rail transit projects commonly experience noise levels that exceed standard limits, resulting in a significant challenge posed by construction noise pollution. This issue not only disrupts the normal operations of construction sites but also profoundly impacts the mental well-being, auditory health, and nervous system of both construction workers and nearby residents. Consequently, effectively addressing construction noise pollution has emerged as a pressing issue. This study systematically reviewed domestic and international construction noise standards, integrating field research and noise monitoring data from construction sites. It provided a detailed analysis of the sources and hazards of construction noise and explored the source and propagation characteristics of construction noise from rail transit projects. The feasibility of controlling construction noise from various perspectives was investigated. Finally, the study analyzed the causes of construction noise exceeding standard limits, proposed layout strategies and control methods tailored to the stages of construction, and offered comprehensive noise control recommendations, culminating in a complete control process. This study fills a gap in research related to construction noise for rail transit projects, provides a valuable foundation for developing construction noise control objectives, and offers practical guidance on the implementation of measurement and control methods. These insights will help advance the field of construction noise control and management, and provide valuable insights for similar domestic rail transit projects. Full article

Abstract

Booming demand for facilities and infrastructure in Indonesia has led to an increase in construction-related accidents. Court rulings provide valuable data on accident circumstances, which can help improve safety standards. Although information on these accidents is scarce and not systematically consolidated, effective data gathering and analysis can lead to better safety outcomes. This study analyzes 150 court rulings in construction industry accident cases and their related decision frameworks to identify seven risk categories using scenario analysis. The correlative patterns and their associated significance are explored via descriptive statistical analysis, and four categories, namely project, task, accident, and medium, were found to be correlated. The results of the cross-tabulation test between two categories were used to highlight correlated categories. Toll road works accounted for 52% of accident cases, with collisions with construction machinery being the most frequent accident type (36%, 76 cases). Lifting and moving goods had respective phi and Cramer values of 0.534 and 0.001. It is obvious that future safety improvement efforts should focus on roadway projects and utilizing construction vehicles for transportation and lifting work. This can be achieved through increased regulatory compliance, proper utilization of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and ensuring vehicle suitability. The results of this study are highly relevant to workplace health and safety officers and risk management personnel. Full article

The Assessment of the Maturity of Informatization in Assembly-Building Projects Utilizing the CMM-CME Methodology, Taking a Project in China as an Illustration

by Yongxia Chen, Tianlong Meng, Zhichen Zhang and Binjie Xu

Buildings 2024, 14(4), 918; https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14040918 - 27 Mar 2024

Viewed by 888

Abstract

Owing to its rapid advancement, information technology has emerged as a critical tool in assembly construction for addressing market demands, improving project quality, and reducing costs. However, the absence of unified informatization standards within the assembly construction industry has led to the adoption of different technologies and systems by various businesses during the development of informatization systems; this has generated issues such as unbalanced development and mutual incompatibility. While researchers have examined these issues, a comprehensive assessment of the maturity of informatization in assembly-building projects is lacking. Assessment of the maturity of informatization can provide evaluation standards and methods for the development of informatization of assembly buildings, explore the important and difficult points of applying informatization technology to assembly buildings, and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to promote the benign development of informatization of assembly buildings. Therefore, this study strives to develop a model for assessing the maturity of informatization of assembly-building projects. This study begins by determining the level of the maturity level of informatization, key process areas, and key practices for assembly-building projects using the capability maturity model (CMM). On this basis, the maturity evaluation index system was constructed through expert interviews and questionnaires. Furthermore, in order to assign weights to the indicators comprehensively, the ordinal relationship method and entropy weight method were implemented. The evaluation criteria were determined by consulting the relevant literature and expert opinions. Followingly, an evaluation model was established based on the cloud matter element (CME) theory. Finally, a case study demonstrates that the methodology can be utilized to quantify the maturity of project informatization. In conclusion, this study unearths a system for assessing the level of maturity of informatization of assembly-building projects, which provides a valuable reference for promoting the continuous development of the maturity of informatization in assembly-building projects.

Abstract

Numerous countries are implementing building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology to enhance the energy performance of buildings, as new energy sources have attracted global interest. BIPV residential programs are an essential method to alleviate energy stress and promote energy transition in buildings; however, the high level of technology and capital investment required have hampered their marketization. Although certain obstacles have been examined by researchers, there remains a lack of studies concerning risk assessment in the context of the development of BIPV residential projects. Therefore, this study strives to develop a risk assessment model for the development of these projects. First, a risk evaluation index system is proposed by identifying and analyzing the risks associated with the development of BIPV residential projects, following the lines of risk identification–risk analysis–risk evaluation–risk management. Second, the DEMATEL-ANP-gray cluster analysis was utilized to construct the development risk assessment model. Finally, a case study demonstrates that the methodology proposed in this study can effectively solve the issues associated with correlating risk factors and the quantification of the magnitude of risks in the development of BIPV residential projects. This study will serve as a valuable reference for architect-urban developers and engineer contractors to formulate risk governance countermeasures for BIPV residential projects as it provides a framework for assessing the risk associated with their development.

Abstract

In the current era, as modern cities increasingly face environmental disasters and inherent challenges, the creation and enhancement of resilient cities have become critical. China’s urban resilience exhibits significant imbalances and inadequacies at the provincial level. This study delves into the evolution of urban resilience in various Chinese provinces, offering valuable insights for building and nurturing resilient cities. Initially, a comprehensive evaluation system for China’s urban resilience was established, incorporating 24 indicators across three key resilience aspects: resistance, adaptability, and recovery. The entropy weight method was used to develop an urban resilience evaluation model, and the Moran index and spatial cold–hot-spot analysis were applied to examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban resilience across China’s 31 provinces from 2012 to 2021. Moreover, the geographically and temporally weighted regression model was employed to analyze the spatial distribution of factors affecting urban resilience. The results show a general upward trend in urban resilience across Chinese provinces, with notable regional differences and concentrations. A significant decrease in urban resilience is observed from southeastern coastal cities to inland regions. The regression model highlights spatial variations in the impact of different factors, with the same factor having varying effects in different provinces. This research provides a thorough understanding of the factors influencing urban resilience in China, contributing to both theoretical and practical discussions on the topic. It lays a strong scientific groundwork for the development and advancement of resilient cities in China. Full article

Abstract

Urban shadow areas, formed by long-term unbalanced and inadequate development during the rapid process of urbanization, are of great significance to a city’s overall development. However, relatively little attention has been paid to identifying and characterizing urban shadow areas. Drawing upon a dataset on urban morphology and cellular signaling, and taking Nanjing as a case study, this paper proposes a method to identify urban shadow areas from the perspective of people flows. The empirical results show that there are 19 urban shadow areas within the downtown areas of Nanjing, 11 of which are distributed in the old downtown areas and the rest are relatively scattered in the periphery. As for morphological characteristics, these urban shadow areas differ from each other in terms of indicators such as building density and development intensity. Moreover, the empirical results show that these urban shadow areas are not isolated but closely connected with other parts of Nanjing. Based on the different spatio-temporal distribution patterns of their connections, the 19 urban shadow areas are divided into four types, and the characteristics of each type have been investigated by analyzing a representative shadow area. It is suggested that policies aiming to eliminate the negative effects of urban shadow areas should consider heterogeneity in their spatial distributions within a city, the temporal distribution of their external connections, and their dominant functions.

by Beibei Zhang, Yuxin Xiong, Hao Liu, Sainan Lyu and Martin Skitmore

Buildings 2023, 13(11), 2826; https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings13112826 - 10 Nov 2023

Cited by 3 | Viewed by 3359

Abstract

Rapid urban development has promoted economic development, but it has also created social problems. Urban renewal provides an important means of achieving sustainable urban development. After 2012, it became a research hotspot with people-oriented and organic renewal concepts. To understand the research trends in urban renewal during 2012–2022, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify research progress, fields, hotspots, and trends. The core collection is based on the Web of Science (WoS) database, with a total of 2692 publications. The volume of publications, journal of publication, country, institution, research scope, and keywords were selected as the object of analysis. The results reveal that since 2012, the volume of urban renewal articles has been gradually increasing, reaching a maximum of 417 in 2022. China is the largest and most influential country in terms of the number of articles published, but the cooperation between institutions and authors is not strong. The research hotspots can be summarized as the connotation and practice of urban renewal, approaches to urban renewal, and sustainable urban development. Future directions for research are identified as including an innovative multi-corporate governance model, community-based renewal, further exploration of sustainable renewal practices, and interdisciplinary applications of urban renewal.

A Systematic Review of the Evolution of the Concept of Resilience in the Construction Industry

by Jinjing Li, Haizhe Yu and Xiaopeng Deng

Buildings 2024, 14(9), 2643; https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14092643 - 26 Aug 2024

Viewed by 1264

Abstract

Despite the growing importance of resilience in the construction sector, the existing literature often focuses on specific systems or functions without integrating a holistic view of resilience. Hence, there is a pressing need for comprehensive research that synthesizes these dimensions to provide a clearer framework for resilience in the construction industry. To find the inherent patterns and trends of resilience, we carried out research from the perspective of three elements defining resilience (the subject of resilience, the influencing factors, and the subject’s ability). In this systematic review, 70 articles were rigorously handpicked from Web of Science, Scopus, and authoritative journals and divided into 6 major categories and 24 subcategories for quantitative and temporal analyses. The evolution of resilience in the construction industry is investigated in this review, shifting from specific systems facing defined impacts to addressing the complexities of diverse and unpredictable disruptions within VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environments. As Industry 4.0 and digital transformation progress, the significance of functional resilience across various system levels becomes apparent, necessitating a reconstitution into structural, operational, and supply chain resilience. This study encourages the use of advanced methodologies like big data, AI, and high-level architecture (HLA) federated simulations to predict disruptions and optimize resilience strategies, thus providing a robust foundation for handling future uncertainties.
