Potential integration of mātauranga Māori in sustainable Construction 4.0 adoption
摘要
Technological advancements such as digitalisation and automation are propelling significant changes in the construction sector, known as Construction 4.0. While research on Construction 4.0 is on the rise, there is limited exploration of integrating Indigenous knowledge (IK) into its adoption. This study aims to uncover the potential ways to integrate IK, specifically mātauranga Māori, into the strategy for applying Construction 4.0. A systematic review approach was employed to identify the current state of integration between IK and Western science. The review found some integration of IK in Western science and engineering spaces, but noted a scarcity of studies on its intersection with Construction 4.0. Intersecting IK was found to potentially enhance the success of engineering projects and initiatives, including those related to the Construction 4.0 transformation and sustainable development. Nonetheless, this intersection still needs to be explored, and a comprehensive intersection protocol is required to fully leverage the potential benefits.
