Prefabrikasyon - BIM Entegrasyonunun Bibliyometrik Analizi ve Haritalandırılması

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 22 - 43, 25.06.2025
https://doi.org/10.59389/modular.1588803

Abstract

Prefabrikasyon ve Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (BIM) entegrasyonu, inşaat sektöründe giderek artan bir şekilde uygulanmakta ve sektörün dijitalleşmesine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, prefabrikasyon ve BIM entegrasyonuna yönelik literatürdeki durum bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Web of Science veri tabanından elde edilen 426 yayın, VOSviewer yazılımı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiş ve haritalandırılmıştır. Prefabrikasyonun hız, maliyet tasarrufu, kalite kontrolü ve sürdürülebilirlik gibi avantajları ele alınırken BIM’in dijitalleşme ve disiplinler arası koordinasyon sağlama potansiyeli vurgulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçları; Çin, Avustralya ve İngiltere’nin bu alandaki bilimsel liderliğini ve Hong Kong Politeknik Üniversitesinin katkılarını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, Automation in Construction dergisi en etkili yayın platformu olarak belirlenmiştir. En fazla iş birliği içinde olan yazar olarak ‘Li, Clyde Zhengdao’ öne çıkarken; en çok atıf alan yayın Hosseini vd., (2018), en yüksek bağlantı gücüne sahip yayın ise Yin vd., (2019) tarafından gerçekleştirilen makale olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, BIM destekli prefabrikasyonun sektördeki yenilikçi uygulamaların yaygınlaşmasını destekleme ve gelecekteki araştırmalara yön verebilme potansiyeline sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.

Prefabrication - BIM Bibliometric Analysis and Mapping the Integration

Year 2025, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 22 - 43, 25.06.2025
https://doi.org/10.59389/modular.1588803

Abstract

The integration of prefabrication and Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the construction industry, significantly contributing to its digital transformation. This study investigates the current state of the literature on prefabrication–BIM integration through a bibliometric analysis. A total of 426 publications retrieved from the Web of Science database were analyzed and mapped using the VOSviewer software. The analysis highlights the advantages of prefabrication—such as speed, cost savings, quality control, and sustainability—while also emphasizing BIM’s potential for digitalization and interdisciplinary coordination. The results reveal the scientific leadership of China, Australia, and the United Kingdom in this field, as well as notable contributions from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Automation in Construction has been identified as the most influential journal. ‘Li, Clyde Zhengdao’ emerged as the most collaborative author, while the most cited article was by Hosseini et al. (2018), and the publication with the highest total link strength was authored by Yin et al. (2019). The findings demonstrate that BIM-enabled prefabrication holds substantial potential to foster the dissemination of innovative practices in the construction sector and to guide future research.
