FROM HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION TO INTEGRATED ADAPTIVE REUSE DECISION-MAKING: A STRUCTURED REVIEW OF HBIM APPLICATIONS AND A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Öz

Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) is frequently presented as a digital response to the geometric and informational complexity of historic buildings. Existing HBIM research has largely focused on surveying, point-cloud processing, and three-dimensional reconstruction. However, decisions concerning the adaptive reuse of historic buildings also require the consideration of heritage significance, spatial compatibility, physical condition, environmental performance, regulatory constraints, costs, and stakeholder priorities. This article examines how HBIM can operate as a transparent decision-support environment rather than solely as a documentation product. A structured, purposive critical review was undertaken using keyword searches in Crossref-indexed metadata and publisher search interfaces, followed by backward citation tracing. The search covered publications from 2009 to 2026. The final analytical corpus comprised 24 peer-reviewed publications, supplemented by one conservation doctrine source. Studies were coded according to the types of input data incorporated into the model, the model entities to which these data were assigned, the analyses enabled, the decisions supported, and the limitations reported. The synthesis suggests six interdependent information layers: Heritage significance, geometry and space, fabric and condition, performance, intervention and governance. These layers inform a six-stage framework connecting evidence acquisition, uncertainty construction, compatibility screening, scenario development, multi-criteria comparison, and post-occupancy updating. Unlike approaches focusing primarily on geometric documentation, value assessment or scenario ranking, the framework foregrounds continuity of evidence, explicit uncertainty, accountable governance, and operational feedback. The framework remains conceptual and requires case-based validation; nevertheless, it provides a traceable structure for developing and comparing value-sensitive adaptive reuse alternatives.

MİRASIN BELGELENMESİNDEN BÜTÜNLEŞİK YENİDEN İŞLEVLENDİRME KARARLARINA: HBIM UYGULAMALARINA YÖNELİK YAPILANDIRILMIŞ BİR İNCELEME VE KAVRAMSAL BİR ÇERÇEVE

Öz

Tarihî Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (HBIM), tarihî yapıların geometrik ve bilgisel karmaşıklığına yönelik dijital bir yaklaşım olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Mevcut HBIM araştırmaları büyük ölçüde belgeleme, nokta bulutu işleme ve üç boyutlu modelleme süreçlerine odaklanmaktadır. Ancak tarihî yapıların yeniden işlevlendirilmesine ilişkin kararlar; kültürel miras değerlerinin, mekânsal uyumluluğun, fiziksel durumun, çevresel performansın, mevzuat kısıtlarının, maliyetlerin ve paydaş önceliklerinin birlikte değerlendirilmesini gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışma, HBIM’in bir belgeleme ürününün ötesinde, şeffaf bir karar destek ortamı olarak nasıl kullanılabileceğini incelemektedir. Crossref’te indekslenen bibliyografik kayıtlar ve yayıncı arama arayüzlerinde gerçekleştirilen anahtar kelime taramaları ile kaynakçaların geriye doğru izlenmesine dayanan, amaçlı seçime sahip yapılandırılmış bir eleştirel derleme yürütülmüştür. Tarama, 2009–2026 yılları arasındaki yayınları kapsamaktadır. Nihai analiz kümesi, bir koruma ilkeleri belgesiyle desteklenen 24 hakemli yayından oluşmaktadır. Yayınlar; modele dahil edilen veriler, bu verilerin ilişkilendirildiği model varlıkları, olanak sağlanan analizler, desteklenen kararlar ve bildirilen sınırlılıklar açısından kodlanmıştır. Sentez sonucunda birbiriyle ilişkili altı bilgi katmanı önerilmiştir: kültürel miras değerleri, geometri ve mekân, yapı dokusu ve mevcut durum, performans, müdahale ve yönetişim. Bu katmanlar; kanıtların toplanması, model ve belirsizliklerin yapılandırılması, uyumluluk değerlendirmesi, senaryo geliştirme, çok ölçütlü karşılaştırma ve kullanım sonrası güncelleme süreçlerini birbirine bağlayan altı aşamalı bir çerçeveyi desteklemektedir. Önerilen çerçeve, kanıtların sürekliliğini, bilgi kaynaklarının izlenebilirliğini, belirsizliklerin açıkça kaydedilmesini, hesap verebilir yönetişimi ve kullanım sürecinden elde edilen geri bildirimleri ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Kavramsal nitelikteki çerçevenin uygulama örnekleriyle doğrulanması gerekmekle birlikte, kültürel miras değerlerine duyarlı yeniden işlevlendirme alternatiflerinin geliştirilmesi ve karşılaştırılması için izlenebilir bir yapı sunmaktadır.
