The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an indispensable methodology for integrating technology into the fabric of daily life. The construction industry is one of the emerging application areas of the IoT. In the construction industry context, occupational health and safety (OHS) represents a critical and developing IoT application area. Consequently, the objective of this study is to present a map of the applications of IoT technology in the OHS field, a rapidly developing research area within the construction industry. A total of 80 publications were included in the study, comprising 72 from the Web of Science (WoS) database and 8 from the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis of the collected data, text mining, and the creation of visual maps were conducted using the Bibliometrix and VOSviewer tools. The reviewed publications were also analyzed by categorizing them according to the methods employed. The study revealed that the current agenda should be expanded by combining the keywords identified in niche themes with the keywords identified in motor themes. This study offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview for researchers interested in research and innovations. The study will facilitate identifying essential changes and trends in the literature for researchers.

İnşaat sektöründe iş sağlığı ve güvenliğinde IoT uygulamaları: Bibliyometrik, görsel ve yöntem analizleri

Öz

Nesnelerin interneti (IoT) teknolojinin günlük yaşama entegre edilmesinde kullanılan önemli yöntemlerden biri haline gelmiştir. IoT’un gelişen uygulama alanlarından biri de inşaat sektörüdür. İnşaat sektöründe halen güncel ve gelişime açık konulardan biri de iş sağlığı ve güvenliğidir (İSG). Dolayısıyla bu çalışma inşaat sektöründe giderek büyüyen bir araştırma alanı olan IoT teknolojisinin İSG alanındaki uygulamaların bir haritasını sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmaya Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanından 72, Scopus veri tabanından 8 adet olmak üzere toplam 80 makale dâhil edilmiştir. Toplanan verilerin bibliyometrik analizinde, metin madenciliğinde ve görsel haritaların oluşturulmasında Bibliometrix ve Vosviewer araçları kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca incelenen yayınlar, kullanılan yöntemler bakımından kategorilere ayrılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma, mevcut gündemin niş temalarda belirlenen anahtar kelimelerin motor temalarda belirlenen anahtar kelimeler ile birleştirilerek genişletilmesi gerektiği sonucunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışma, alandaki araştırmalarla ve yeniliklerle ilgilenen araştırmacılara güncel bir özet sunmaktadır. Araştırmacıların literatürdeki önemli değişiklikleri ve eğilimleri fark etmelerine katkı sağlayacaktır.
