A Scientometric studies on Risk Management and Contingency Plan for Facility Management Projects.
Risk management is one of the topical areas in construction project management research. However, no attempt has been made in the past decades to explore the emerging themes in this area of assessing risks for facility management projects. This study reviews the research trends in risk management in construction.It is projected that the next decade will see significant research on risk management, especially as the construction industry moves towards Industry 5.0 with many uncertainties. Further, the most productive countries of risk management studies in construction include China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Hong Kong. Emerging key research areas are discussed using network diagrams and clusters. These areas include the processes in risk management, risk analytical models and techniques, sources of risk and uncertainties, effective knowledge-based systems for improved risk management, risk contingency in construction contracts, risk-integrated project planning and scheduling, and stakeholder management. This study aims to conduct a scientometric analysis and examination of the large strand of literature on risk management in construction with the following derived objectives to evaluate the annual publication trend of risk management studies in the construction research field.
