İnşaat Sektöründe ISO 16739-1:2024’ün (Endüstri Temel Sınıfları, IFC) Veri Paylaşımı ve Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (BIM) İş Birliğine Etkisinin Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, ISO 16739-1:2024’ü (Endüstri Temel Sınıfları, IFC) inşaat sektöründeki Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (BIM) bağlamında kapsamlı bir şekilde analiz etmektedir. Temel bileşenler, politika ve düzenleyici etkiler, gelecek görünümü, faydalar, zorluklar ve uygulamalar olmak üzere altı temel özelliği ele alarak, standardın veri uyumluluğunu, verimliliğini ve iş birliğini artırmadaki rolünü değerlendirmektedir. Bulgular, ISO 16739-1:2024’ün inşaat süreçlerini birleştirme, karar alma süreçlerini iyileştirme ve standartlaştırılmış veri paylaşımı yoluyla sürdürülebilir uygulamaları teşvik etme kapasitesini vurgulamaktadır. Ancak teknik zorluklar, eğitim ihtiyaçları ve değişime direnç, geniş çapta benimsenmesinde engel oluşturmaktadır. Vaka çalışmaları ve sistematik yöntemler kullanılarak yapılan bu araştırma, standardın dönüştürücü potansiyelini ortaya koymakta ve uygulama zorluklarının üstesinden gelmek için uygulanabilir öneriler sunmaktadır. Çalışma, veri paylaşımındaki boşlukları doldurarak ve inşaat proje yönetiminde yenilikçiliği teşvik ederek hem akademik literatüre hem de sektöre önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır.

Analyzing the Impact of ISO 16739-1:2024 (Industry Foundation Classes, IFC) on Data Sharing and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Collaboration in the Construction Industry

Abstract

This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of ISO 16739-1:2024 (Industry Foundation Classes, IFC) within the context of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. By addressing six fundamental characteristics-key components, policy and regulatory impact, future outlook, benefits, challenges, and implementations-it evaluates the standard's role in enhancing data interoperability, efficiency, and collaboration. The findings highlight ISO 16739-1:2024’s capacity to unify construction processes, improve decision-making, and promote sustainable practices through standardized data exchange. However, technical challenges, training requirements, and resistance to change remain barriers to its widespread adoption. Using case studies and systematic methodologies, this research emphasizes the standard’s transformative potential and offers actionable recommendations to address implementation challenges. This study contributes significantly to academic literature and industry by bridging gaps in data sharing and fostering innovation in construction project management.
