Abstract

Purpose Amid rapid technological progress, the construction industry is embracing Construction 4.0, redefining work practices through emerging technologies. However, the implications of Construction 4.0 technologies to enhancing well-being are still poorly understood. Particularly, the challenge lies in selecting technologies that critically contribute to well-being enhancement. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the implications of Construction 4.0 technologies to enhancing well-being. Design/methodology/approach A list of Construction 4.0 technologies was identified from a national strategic plan on Construction 4.0, using Malaysia as a case study. Fourteen construction industry experts were selected to evaluate the implications of Construction 4.0 technologies on well-being using fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The expert judgment was measured using linguistic variables that were transformed into fuzzy values. Then, the collected data was analyzed using the following analyses: fuzzy TOPSIS, Pareto, normalization, sensitivity, ranking performance and correlation. Findings Six Construction 4.0 technologies are critical to enhancing well-being: cloud & real-time collaboration, big data & predictive analytics, Internet of Things, building information modeling, autonomous construction and augmented reality & virtualization. In addition, artificial intelligence and advanced building materials are recommended to be implemented simultaneously as a very strong correlation exists between them. Originality/value The novelty of this study lies in a comprehensive understanding of the implications of Construction 4.0 technologies to enhancing well-being. The findings can assist researchers, industry practitioners and policymakers in making well-informed decisions to select Construction 4.0 technologies when targeting the enhancement of the overall well-being of the local construction industry.
建筑 4.0 技术对提高幸福感的影响:模糊 TOPSIS 评估
目的在技术飞速发展的同时,建筑行业正在拥抱建筑 4.0,通过新兴技术重新定义工作实践。然而,人们对 "建筑 4.0 "技术对提高幸福感的影响仍然知之甚少。特别是,如何选择对提高幸福感有重要贡献的技术是一项挑战。因此,本研究旨在评估建筑 4.0 技术对提高幸福感的影响。设计/方法/途径以马来西亚为例,从国家建筑 4.0 战略计划中确定了建筑 4.0 技术清单。挑选了 14 位建筑行业专家,采用模糊的 "与理想解决方案相似度排序偏好技术"(TOPSIS)来评估建筑 4.0 技术对福祉的影响。专家的判断使用语言变量进行测量,并将其转换为模糊值。研究结果六项建筑 4.0 技术对提高幸福感至关重要:云计算与实时协作、大数据与预测分析、物联网、建筑信息建模、自主建筑以及增强现实与虚拟化。此外,建议同时实施人工智能和先进建筑材料,因为它们之间存在着非常强的相关性。原创性/价值本研究的新颖之处在于全面了解了建筑 4.0 技术对提高幸福感的影响。研究结果有助于研究人员、行业从业人员和政策制定者在选择建筑 4.0 技术时做出明智的决定,从而提高本地建筑行业的整体福祉。
