    Prioritization of Risk Events in Ppp Wind Power Projects Using Integrated Fmea and Monte Carlo Simulation
    (2021) Akçay, Emre Caner
    The popularity of public private partnership (PPP) projects has grown all over the world, especially indeveloping countries. The success of PPP projects heavily depends on how effectively risk assessments areperformed. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) enables risk assessment by considering the impact,the probability, and the detection rate of risk events. However, it is very difficult to predict a single value forthese variables. The objective of this research is to integrate FMEA and Monte Carlo simulation, and to usethis model to perform risk assessment and prioritization of risks in PPP projects. The proposed model wasapplied to a real wind power generation investment located in the Aegean region of Turkey. The top threeimportant risk events are “unfavorable wind speed”, “fluctuation in exchange rates”, and “interest ratevolatility”. The model perfumed to the satisfaction of experts. The primary contributions of this researchinclude (1) a method that allows the identification of the risk events in PPP projects; (2) a model that performsrisk assessment and prioritization of risk events in PPP projects; (3) an integrated FMEA and Monte Carlosimulation model that performs stochastic risk assessment in PPP projects. Both public agencies and privateconsortia should benefit from the proposed model.

    (2025) Latifiilkhechi, Leva; Aminbakhsh, Saman; Akçay, Emre Caner
    Bu çalışmada, Türk inşaat sektöründe 3B baskı teknolojisinin benimsenmesini etkileyen temel faktörler incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, kapsamlı bir literatür taraması sonucunda 27 teşvik edici ve 19 engelleyici faktör belirlenmiş olup, bu faktörlerin değerlendirmesi 106 uzmandan oluşan bir anket çalışması ile yapılmıştır. Bu faktörlerin önemi, Göreceli Önem İndeksi (GÖİ) kullanılarak değerlendirilmiş ve ardından Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) ile faktörlerin önem düzeyleri belirlenmiştir. 3B baskı teknolojisinin daha hızlı inşaat, iş kazalarının azalması, enerji verimliliğinin artması ve karmaşık tasarımların daha kolay uygulanması gibi avantajlar sunduğu görülse de, bu teknolojinin benimsenmesini engelleyen başlıca zorluklar arasında 3B Beton Baskı için yeterli düzenlemelerin ve yapı kodlarının eksikliği, büyük ölçekli uygulamalar konusunda sınırlı bilgi ve yalıtım malzemelerinin yetersizliği yer almaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları, malzeme israfını azaltma ve daha fazla özelleştirme imkânı sağlama gibi faktörlerin 3B baskının inşaat sektöründe benimsenmesinde en önemli etmen olduğunu, gözetim maliyetlerinin azaltılmasının ise en az önemli teşvik edici faktör olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Diğer yandan, siber güvenlik riskleri, potansiyel iş kayıpları ve basılı yapıların katmanlı ve pürüzlü yüzeyleri, en kritik engeller olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırma, 3B baskı teknolojisinin inşaat sektörüne entegrasyonunun artırılması için bu etmenlerin ve engellerin hedefe yönelik stratejilerle ele alınması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

    Design Team Effectiveness and Architects' Personality Types
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Alan, Ece; Arditi, David; Gunaydin, Husnu Murat; Akcay, Emre Caner
    PurposeThe personalities of the design team members constitute one of the factors that influence team effectiveness. In this study, 223 members of the "American Institute of Architects" who are employed by the largest architectural design firms in the United States of America were categorized according to their personality types by using "The Enneagram Personality Type Model." Also, the respondents' opinions about eight team effectiveness outcomes were recorded in order to explore the relationship between team members' personality types and team effectiveness outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThe information was collected by a questionnaire where the first part included 144 pairs of statements that were used to identify respondents' personality types. The second part sought designers' opinions about the importance of eight team effectiveness outcomes rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The results were assessed by performing the Kruskal-Wallis test first and Dunn's post-hoc test with Bonferroni adjustment subsequently.FindingsThe findings highlight the significance of personality types in effective design teams. While Type 6 (loyalist and skeptic) and Type 3 (achiever and performer) architects prioritize team effectiveness the most, Type 7 architects (enthusiasts and epicureans) assign the lowest importance. However, the presence of Type 1 (reformist and perfectionist) and Type 8 (challenger and protector) architects within the same design team may involve challenges or conflicts.Originality/valueThe primary contribution of this study is that it is the first study in the construction management literature that utilizes The Enneagram of Personality Test to understand the relationship between team members' personality types and team effectiveness outcomes. This study is of direct relevance to practitioners and could be utilized in design team-building activities.

    Real Options Valuation of Solar Energy Projects: a Systematic Review
    (Association of Researchers in Construction Management, 2024) Ustun, F.S.; Bilgin, G.; Akcay, E.C.
    Energy plays an essential role in the development of countries, addressing the basic needs of people, and advancing technological progress. As the world's population and the energy demand in the industrial sector increase rapidly, the limited non-renewable energy resources prove insufficient to supply this demand. Consequently, both developed and developing countries are shifting towards renewable energy sources to meet their energy needs. As a result, the number of renewable energy projects in the world has been increasing day by day. Solar energy technology stands as an exemplar within the realm of renewable energy resources, playing a pivotal role in contributing to their overall share. Assessing the economic feasibility of solar energy projects is crucial to ensure their success. Traditional economic analysis methods often disregard managerial flexibility, leading to prefer the real options valuation for analysing the economic feasibility of solar energy projects. Therefore, the objective of this research is to review the application of the real options valuation for valuing solar energy projects in the existing literature. The findings of this study may provide a roadmap for future research efforts. © Association of Researchers in Construction Management

    As the construction industry is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable building projects play a vital role in mitigating its harmful environmental impact. Building energy analysis is particularly important for sustainable projects. Building Information Modeling (BIM), which enables comprehensive data management and analysis throughout the building lifecycle, has emerged as an indispensable tool at every stage of sustainable building projects. This study aims to investigate the barriers hindering the implementation of BIM in sustainable building projects in Türkiye. For this purpose, potential barriers were initially identified through literature searches in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Following the literature review, a structured questionnaire was designed to evaluate the significance of 18 identified barriers on the use of BIM technology in green buildings. The results indicate that significant impediments include financial barriers such as high licensing costs, the high costs of BIM experts, and high training costs. The findings highlight the critical need for support mechanisms to facilitate the broader adoption of BIM in sustainable construction practices. © 2024 International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century.

    Türkiye'de Sürdürülebilir Yapılarda Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi Uygulamasının Önündeki Engellerin İncelenmesi
    (2025) Aksoy, Irmak; Akçay, Emre Caner
    Küresel çevresel kaygıların giderek artmasıyla birlikte, enerji tüketimi ve sera gazı emisyonlarının en büyük kaynaklarından biri olan inşaat sektörü, sürdürülebilir uygulamaları benimseme konusunda artan bir baskı altına girmiştir. Sürdürülebilir yapılar, inşaatın çevresel etkilerini azaltmak için önemli bir fırsat sunarken, Yapı Bilgi Modellemesi (YBM) bu dönüşümü destekleyen dijital bir araç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. YBM veri odaklı karar verme ve yaşam döngüsü analizi yoluyla enerji verimli ve çevre dostu yapıların tasarımını, inşasını ve işletmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Ancak, bilinen tüm faydalarına rağmen, YBM'nin sürdürülebilir yapı projelerinde kullanımı bazı bölgelerde, özellikle Türkiye'de sınırlı kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki Mimarlık, Mühendislik ve İnşaat sektöründe sürdürülebilir yapılarda YBM uygulamasının önündeki temel engelleri araştırmaktadır. Kapsamlı bir literatür taraması sonucunda on sekiz engel belirlenmiş ve bu engellerin önemini değerlendirmek üzere yapılandırılmış bir anket geliştirilmiştir. Anketin netliğini ve geçerliliğini sağlamak için tam ölçekli uygulamadan önce bir pilot çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler Ortalama Skor Yöntemi ve Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ile analiz edilerek engellerin sınıflandırılması ve etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi sağlanmıştır. Bulgular, en kritik engellerin finansal nitelikte olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle, yüksek eğitim maliyetleri, yazılım lisans ücretleri ve YBM uzmanlarının maliyeti öne çıkan engeller arasındadır. Buna karşılık, yazılım karmaşıklığı veya telif hakkı gibi süreç ve teknoloji temelli engeller daha az önemli olarak değerlendirilmiştir. AFA sonuçlarına göre, engeller altı kategori altında gruplandırılmıştır: Finansal, Kullanılabilirlik ve İş Birliği, Yazılım, Pazar ve Devlet, Bilgi, Kurumsal ve Mevzuat Engelleri. Her kategori, Türkiye'de sürdürülebilir projelerde YBM entegrasyonunu zorlaştıran farklı zorlukları ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye bağlamında YBM uygulamasının önündeki engellerin çok boyutlu yapısını gözler önüne sererken, sürdürülebilir yapı projelerinde YBM kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması için çözülmesi gereken temel sorunlara dair önemli bulgular sunmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, sektördeki paydaşlara ve politika yapıcılara, hedefe yönelik müdahaleler geliştirme, farkındalığı artırma ve YBM tabanlı sürdürülebilir inşaatı destekleme konusunda yol gösterici olabilir.
