The Potential of Digital Technologies as a Catalyst for the Transition to Circularity

Abstract

Digital technologies (DTs) are increasingly recognized as pivotal enablers of the transition to a circular economy (CE) across various sectors. This study focuses on addressing this research gap by examining how digital technologies can facilitate the transition to a circular economy in the built environment. The study investigates the following key questions: Which DTs hold the greatest potential for advancing circularity in the construction industry? And how can these technologies be strategically applied to enable circular principles? Through an extensive literature review and comparative analysis, the study identifies technologies such as Additive Manufacturing (AM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Modeling (BIM), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data Analytics (BDA) as critical tools for driving circular strategies. These technologies enhance material and energy efficiency, minimize waste, and resource recovery. Research findings provide feasible insights for researchers, and industry practitioners, enlighting the way for a more circular built environment.

Döngüselliğe Geçişte Katalizör Olarak Dijital Teknolojilerin Potansiyeli

Abstract

Dijital teknolojiler (DT'ler), çeşitli sektörlerde döngüsel ekonomiye (DE) geçişte katalizör rol oynayan araçlar olarak giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, dijital teknolojilerin yapma çevrede döngüsel ekonomiye geçişi nasıl kolaylaştırabileceğini inceleyerek bu araştırma boşluğunu ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın araştırma soruları: Hangi dijital teknolojiler inşaat sektöründe döngüselliği hızlandırma potansiyeline sahiptir? Ve bu teknolojiler döngüsel ilkeleri desteklemek için hangi stratejilere sahiptir? Kapsamlı bir literatür incelemesi ve karşılaştırmalı analiz sonucunda, Katmanlı Üretim (AM), Yapay Zekâ (AI), Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (BIM), Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) ve Büyük Veri Analitiği (BDA) gibi teknolojiler, döngüselliğe geçişte potansiyelleri yüksek araçlar olarak saptanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, bu alanda çalışan araştırmacılar ve sektördeki uzmanlar için uygulanabilir bilgiler sunarak döngüsellik ilke ve stratejileri açısından verimli bir yapma çevreye giden sürece ışık tutmaktadır.
