“…This method is known as an effective way of showing up the progression of relevant research with a historical approach and paving the way for future studies on a specific research topic. There are various novel studies that use the bibliometric analysis method to assess information regarding LCA (Furness et al, 2021, Moghayedi et al, 2022Norouzi et al, 2021;Ohene et al, 2022;Yu and Chen, 2022). The bibliometric analysis method is useful for investigating the growth of research topics, finding relationships between logical progresses, applying modifications to the common approach, and identifying expanding interdisciplinary alliances.…”

Conventional production methods used in the production process of bricks as a building material causes several impacts on the environment and climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is used to determine a material's carbon footprint from cradle to grave, including all production processes from the extraction of raw materials to the disposal of waste materials or re-use of recycled materials. It is important to examine the energy and material flow of the product using the LCA methodology to develop sustainable solutions in the production processes of brick material. This preliminary study aims to review existing LCA approaches about bricks, obtain bibliometric data from the published papers that include the analysis of the life cycle of bricks, and form a basis for the main study by analyzing literature data. Within the scope of this study, the bibliometric analysis method is used to examine available literature about the LCA of bricks, research gaps are investigated, and bibliometric mapping is implemented using several co-occurrences such as authorship, publication years, countries, keywords, etc. Web of Science and Scopus databases are used for bibliometric mapping. The results of the study show that it is an emerging research topic mostly studied in the context of environmental sciences, engineering, and technology that needs further research, especially in Turkey. Also, this topic is generally covered with and related to building materials, sustainability, waste management, biosolids, carbon emission, environmental impacts, recycling, and circular economy.

“…Innovation transfer endeavours within affordable housing projects are being severely hampered by a lack of proper understanding of innovation transfer issues and their interrelationships with company capabilities and processes, and the knowledge characteristics of the technologies being transferred (Khan et al, 2019). Moghayedi et al (2022) stated that due to the paucity in development, manufacturing, and supply of local innovative construction materials in developing countries, most are imported at high cost compared to the conventional materials, thereby making it a challenge to be deployed in the affordable housing projects. Imported innovative products are often incompatible with local climatic conditions, necessitating some degree of customisation which may farther increase project costs.…”

“…The increasing consideration of environmental sustainability performance due to the negative impact of construction on the environment appear to have encouraged home developers to adopt several resource-efficient methods during the construction of affordable housing. Moghayedi et al (2022) suggests that the relatively high cost of water and energy in South Africa has also played a role. Current public incentives centre on labour-intensive construction practices to stem the high unemployment rate in South Africa (Osunsanmi et al, 2020) thus explaining the limited use of automated construction methods by developers.…”

“…However, awareness of a particular sustainability‐oriented innovative practice does not necessarily ensure its adoption, as a series of interrelated events are required for successful adoption (Moghayedi et al, 2022), thus supporting the general perception that the construction industry is penurious in the uptake of innovation (Adafin et al, 2021). Certain organisational and project characteristics have also been identified as influencing the rate of adoption of innovation in the construction industry (Seng et al, 2020).…”

The emergence of a plethora of innovative construction methods, materials and technologies in the construction industry has been projected to enhance the effective delivery of sustainable affordable housing. However, a lack of empirical evidence buttressing an extensive analysis of the effect of internal and external influencers on adopting these innovations within the affordable housing context in developing countries persists.This study examines the nexus between company and project characteristics as internal influencers, and challenges as external influencers, on the extent of use of sustainabilityoriented innovations (SOIs), on affordable housing projects. Variables emanating from an extensive literature review were presented in a causal model detailing sustainable, innovative, and affordable housing (SIAH). The model and the inherent causality between the constructs were validated through a survey administered on a population of registered South African home developers. The results of structural equation modelling posit a minimal positive impact of internal influencers and moderate negative effects of external challenges on the extent of use of SOIs by home developers. Also, results highlighted the negative mediating impact of challenges on the relationship between internal influences and the extent of use of SOI in affordable housing projects. The study concludes that the
