INTEGRATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN HBIM-ASSISTED RESTORATION OF HISTORIC STONE PLACES OF WORSHIP

Öz

Historic stone places of worship face a multidimensional conservation problem driven by material fragility, poor thermal performance, climate-change pressure and growing visitor loads. Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) provides a powerful digital backbone for their documentation, diagnosis and management, yet the energy-efficiency and sustainable-tourism dimensions remain only partially integrated into this backbone. This study pursues two complementary aims: to map the scientific literature at the intersection of HBIM, energy efficiency and sustainable tourism, and to propose a five-layer integrated conceptual framework specific to historic stone places of worship. From an initial pool of 247 records retrieved through a four-block Web of Science query, a multi-stage screening process combining document-type, language and topical-relevance filters yielded, after case- and hyphenation-harmonisation of the keyword fields, a final corpus of 108 research articles (2007–2026), analysed in Bibliometrix (R). The field expanded rapidly after 2020; production concentrates around an Italian, Chinese and Spanish core, with very limited international co-authorship. The harmonised co-occurrence network organises the field along four axes — cultural-heritage–reality-capture, BIM–HBIM–energy–life-cycle, heritage–conservation–sustainability and tourism–sustainable-development — in which energy-adjacent concepts have begun to co-occur with BIM/HBIM at the keyword level, while sustainable tourism anchors its own separate cluster and thus stands as the field's primary integration gap. Tourism is not marginal: in dual-use ritual/tourist environments visitor management is inseparable from material and energy dynamics. On this broader evidence base, the proposed framework integrates digital documentation, structural–material diagnosis, energy performance, visitor experience and digital-twin governance around a single parametric HBIM model, making sustainable-tourism integration the principal near-term priority.

TARİHİ TAŞ İBADETHANELERİN HBIM DESTEKLİ RESTORASYONUNDA ENERJİ VERİMLİLİĞİ VE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR TURİZM ENTEGRASYONU

Öz

Tarihi taş ibadethaneler, yüksek kültürel ve manevi değerlerine karşın malzeme kırılganlığı, düşük termal performans, iklim baskısı ve artan ziyaretçi yükü nedeniyle çok boyutlu bir koruma sorunuyla karşı karşıyadır. Tarihi Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (HBIM) bu yapıların belgelenmesi, teşhisi ve yönetimi için güçlü bir dijital omurga sunmakta; ancak enerji verimliliği ve sürdürülebilir turizm boyutları bu omurgaya yalnızca kısmen bütünleşmiş durumdadır. Çalışma iki tamamlayıcı amaç gütmektedir: HBIM, enerji verimliliği ve sürdürülebilir turizmin kesişimindeki literatürü haritalamak ve tarihi taş ibadethanelere özgü beş katmanlı bütünleşik bir kavramsal çerçeve önermek. Dört bloklu Web of Science sorgusuyla belirlenen 247 kayıt; belge türü, dil ve konu uyumu filtrelerini içeren çok aşamalı taramadan geçirilmiş, anahtar kelime alanları harmonize edildikten sonra 2007–2026 dönemini kapsayan 108 makale Bibliometrix (R) ortamında incelenmiştir. Alan 2020 sonrasında hızla genişlemiş; üretim İtalya, Çin ve İspanya odaklı bir çekirdek etrafında yoğunlaşmış, uluslararası ortak yayınlar sınırlı kalmıştır. Harmonize eşdizim ağı literatürü dört eksende örgütlemektedir: kültürel miras–gerçeklik yakalama, BIM–HBIM–enerji–yaşam döngüsü, miras–koruma–sürdürülebilirlik ve turizm–sürdürülebilir kalkınma. Enerji kavramları BIM/HBIM ile anahtar kelime düzeyinde birlikte anılmaya başlarken sürdürülebilir turizm ayrı bir küme oluşturarak alanın birincil bütünleşme boşluğunu tanımlamaktadır. Turizm marjinal değildir; ikili kullanımlı ritüel/turistik ortamlarda ziyaretçi yönetimi malzeme ve enerji dinamiklerinden ayrılmaz. Bu daha geniş kanıt tabanına dayanarak önerilen çerçeve, dijital dokümantasyon, yapısal–malzeme teşhisi, enerji performansı, ziyaretçi deneyimi ve dijital ikiz tabanlı yönetişim katmanlarını tek bir parametrik HBIM modeli etrafında bütünleştirerek sürdürülebilir turizm entegrasyonunu yakın vadenin öncelikli gündemi hâline getirmektedir.
