A built environment is composed of man-made structures, where people live and work. The extent of the built environment ranges from buildings to cities. Moreover, the focus of research studies related with smartness ranges from optimizing the energy consumption to developing technological artefacts. The existing vagueness in the definitions of smartness and built environment escalates with the complexity that Smart Built Environment (SBE) concept brings. To clarify the understanding of SBE, there is an emerging need to identify the variation and extent of SBE including its boundaries and scope. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the current body of knowledge in SBE through a systematically review. The relevant publications are selected through screening within the Scopus database. Identified publications are categorized based on multiple criteria such as the year, location, and methodology of the publication; and the phase, contribution, and unit of analysis of the performed study.

Assessing risk management maturity : a framework for the construction companies
Öngel, Begüm; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2009)
Due to its complex nature, risk and uncertainty are more widespread in construction industry than many other industries. Aiming to ensure that all project objectives are met, risk management is considered as a critical success factor for construction projects. The core elements of risk management are now known and used by many organizations. On the other hand, as declared by Project Management Institute (PMI), the ability to measure the effectiveness in managing risk is one of the most important areas that ...
Utilization of soda and beer wastes in cementitious systems
Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
To maintain the sustainability of cement and concrete production, there is a trend to use wastes in their production. Soda waste, generated by soda ash production process, and beer waste, generated by beer filtration process, are two locally produced wastes in Turkey and many other countries. The nature of these wastes, mostly their fineness, makes them possible to be used in concrete production, especially as a viscosity modifying agent in the self consolidating type of concrete. In this study, the additio...
Applicability of the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Method for Nondestructive Measurement of Residual Stresses in the Carburized and Tempered 19CrNi5H Steels
HIZLI, HÜSEYİN; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
There exist no materials and/or structures of technical importance without residual stresses. The residual stress management concept has gained importance in industrial applications aiming to improve service performance and useful life of the product. Thus, the industry requests rapid, reliable, and nondestructive methods to determine residual stress state. The aim of this article is to investigate the applicability of the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method to measurement of surface residual stresses in...
Evaluation of development readjustment share deduction from the puplic service areas with regard to public interest concept : the case of Turkish State Railways
Akar, Berrak; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2017)
It is one of the most important tasks of the state to prevent unplanned urbanization and to provide healthy urbanization and infrastructure. Planning is also one of the most effective instruments used to accomplish this task. On that sense, planning appears as a significant tool which is used by central and local governments to provide public interest. The implementation of development plans which are guiding to the practices on physical space, enable the reflection of public interest to the space. The purp...
An exploratory study on features of intelligent office buildings and development of an assessment tool
Gündoğan, Handan; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-12)
Intelligent office buildings have a high-tech image that embraces advanced technologies to enhance the quality of life for building occupants and energy efficiency. The literature's exploration of the Intelligent Building (IB) concept indicated that the concept has broad aspects, which resulted in losing its focus. In this regard, this thesis aims to address two central questions of how the IB concept is currently interpreted by the building sector representatives and what are the intelligent features of an...
