Abstract

PurposeNotwithstanding the Geographical Information System (GIS) being a fast-emerging green area of a digital revolution, the available studies focus on different subject areas of application in the construction industry, with no study that clarifies its knowledge strands. Hence, this systematic review analyses GIS core area of application, its system integration patterns, challenges and future directions in the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review approach was employed, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. A total of 60 articles published between 2011 and 2022 were identified, thoroughly reviewed and analysed using thematic analysis.FindingsThe analysis revealed spatial planning and design, construction-task tracking, defect detection and safety monitoring as its four main application-based areas. The findings showed that the adoption of GIS technology is rapidly expanding and being utilised more in building projects to visual-track construction activities. The review discovered an integrated pattern involving data flow from a device and window-form application to GIS, the pathways to data exchange between platforms to platforms, where ArcGIS is the most used software. Furthermore, the study highlighted the lack of interoperability between heterogeneous systems as the crux impediment to adopting GIS in the built environment.Originality/valueThe research provides a deep insight into possible areas where GIS is adopted in the construction industry, identifying areas of extensive and limited application coverage over a decade. Besides, it demystifies possible pathways for future integration opportunities of GIS with other emerging technologies within the construction industry.
地理信息系统(GIS)在建设中的应用综述
尽管地理信息系统(GIS)是数字革命中一个快速崛起的绿色领域,但现有的研究主要集中在建筑行业的不同学科领域的应用上,没有研究阐明其知识链。因此,本文系统分析了GIS在建筑行业应用的核心领域、系统集成模式、面临的挑战和未来的发展方向。设计/方法/方法采用系统评价方法,使用系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)清单。共确定了2011年至2022年间发表的60篇文章,并使用专题分析进行了全面审查和分析。分析显示空间规划与设计、施工任务跟踪、缺陷检测和安全监测是其四个主要应用领域。调查结果显示,地理信息系统技术的采用正在迅速扩大,并更多地用于建筑项目,以视觉跟踪建筑活动。审查发现了一种集成模式,涉及从设备和窗口形式应用程序到GIS的数据流,以及平台与平台之间数据交换的途径,其中ArcGIS是最常用的软件。此外,研究还强调了异构系统之间缺乏互操作性是阻碍GIS在建筑环境中应用的关键因素。原创性/价值本研究对建筑行业采用GIS的可能领域提供了深入的见解,确定了十年来广泛应用和有限应用的领域。此外,它还揭示了GIS与建筑行业其他新兴技术未来整合机会的可能途径。
