Abstract

PurposeThis research aims to systematically review studies on significant risks for Critical Infrastructure Projects (CIPs) from selected top-tier academic journals from 2011 to 2023.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, a three-step systematic literature review methodology was employed to analyse 55 selected articles on Critical Infrastructure Risks (CIRs) from well-regarded and relevant academic journals published from 2011 to 2023.FindingsThe findings highlight a growing research focus on CIRs from 2011 to 2023. A total of 128 risks were identified and grouped into ten distinct categories: construction, cultural, environmental, financial, legal, management, market, political, safety and technical risks. In addition, literature reviews combined with questionnaire surveys were more frequently used to identify CIRs than any other method. Moreover, oil and gas projects were the subjects most often explored in the reviewed papers. Furthermore, it was observed that publications from Iran, the USA and China dominated CIRs research, making significant contributions, accounting for 49.65% of the analysed articles.Research limitations/implicationsThis research specifically focuses on five types of CIPs (i.e. roadways, bridges, water supply systems, dams and oil and gas projects). Other CIPs like cyber-physical systems or electric power systems, were not considered in this research.Practical implicationsGovernments and contracting firms can benefit from the findings of this study by understanding the significant risks associated with the execution of CIPs, irrespective of the nation, industry or type of project. The results of this investigation can offer construction professionals valuable insights to formulate and implement risk response plans in the early stages of a project.Originality/valueAs a novel literature review related to CIRs, it lays the groundwork for future research and deepens the understanding of the multi-faceted effects of these risks, as well as sets practical response strategies.
2011 年至 2023 年关键基础设施项目风险因素研究综述
本研究采用了三步系统文献综述法,分析了从 2011 年到 2023 年出版的知名相关学术期刊中选取的 55 篇关于关键基础设施风险(CIRs)的文章。研究结果研究结果表明,从 2011 年到 2023 年,关于关键基础设施风险的研究重点不断增加。共确定了 128 项风险,并将其分为十个不同的类别:建筑、文化、环境、金融、法律、管理、市场、政治、安全和技术风险。此外,与其他方法相比,文献综述与问卷调查相结合的方法更常用于识别 CIR。此外,石油和天然气项目也是文献综述中最常探讨的主题。此外,研究还发现,伊朗、美国和中国的出版物在 CIRs 研究中占主导地位,做出了重要贡献,占分析文章的 49.65%。本研究未考虑其他 CIP,如网络物理系统或电力系统。 实际意义无论国家、行业或项目类型如何,政府和承包公司都可以从本研究的结果中获益,了解与执行 CIP 相关的重大风险。本研究的结果可为建筑专业人员提供宝贵的见解,帮助他们在项目早期阶段制定和实施风险应对计划。原创性/价值作为一项与 CIR 相关的新颖文献综述,本研究为今后的研究奠定了基础,加深了对这些风险的多方面影响的理解,并制定了切实可行的应对策略。
