The purpose of this study is to investigate publications utilizing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in construction management to identify their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats through a SWOT analysis. A variety of academic search engines was used to systematically search publications between January 2019 and May 2022 for this purpose. An in-depth analysis of 249 articles was conducted; first, they were ranked based on academic databases, indexes, and years, then they were classified according to their major applications in construction management, and finally, a SWOT analysis was carried out. The studies demonstrate that these methods improve the consistency and robustness of decision-making; however, they mainly concentrate on macro-level aspects, which is considered a disadvantage. Even though models heavily rely on participants’ knowledge and experience, they can be eliminated by integrating perspectives from a variety of experts and professionals. Using the findings of this study, researchers will be able to plan their future original studies based on opportunities identified, as well as improve possible weaknesses and eliminate threats outlined in previous studies.

2019’dan 2022’ye İnşaat Yönetiminde Kullanılan ÇKKV Yöntemlerinin SWOT Analizine Dayalı Olarak Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, inşaat yönetiminde çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemlerini kullanan yayınları inceleyerek güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini, fırsatları ve tehditleri SWOT analizi yoluyla tespit edip ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla Ocak 2019 ile Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasındaki yayınların sistematik olarak taranmasında çeşitli akademik arama motorları kullanıldı. Ulaşılan makalelerden 249’u derinlemesine analiz edildi; öncelikle akademik veritabanlarına, indekslere ve yıllara göre sıralandı, ardından inşaat yönetimindeki başlıca uygulamalarına göre sınıflandırıldı ve son olarak SWOT analizleri yapıldı. Araştırmalar, bu yöntemlerin karar vermenin tutarlılığını ve sağlamlığını artırdığını göstermekle birlikte esas olarak makro düzeydeki yönlere yoğunlaştığını belirtmekte ve bu da dezavantaj olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Modeller ağırlıklı olarak katılımcıların bilgi ve deneyimlerine dayansa da, çeşitli uzman ve profesyonellerin bakış açılarının entegre edilmesiyle bu durumun ortadan kaldırılabileceği kanaatine varılmıştır. Bu çalışma, araştırmacıların bu konularda geçmiş çalışmalarda fırsat olarak tespit edilen özgün çalışmalarını planlamalarının yanı sıra olası zayıf yönlerin iyileştirilmesi ve tehditlerin ortadan kaldırılması açısından da oldukça katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
