“…However, most of them have utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines [48]. The underlying reasons for this are the systematic nature and procedure of PRISMA to help streamline the process and provide a scientific approach to the pertinent analyses [7,19,49]. There are other methods as well; however, the current study limits itself to PRISMA only due to wider acceptance.…”

“…Accordingly, there has been a boom in developing CFs in the BE. Ranging from the wider domains such as construction, smart cities, and architecture to case-specific contexts such as adopting blockchain-based smart contracts in real estate or developing novel Six Sigma methods for city management, the development of CFs is on the rise in BE [7,18,19].…”

“…Further, the focus on knowledge, production, and transdisciplinarity is the way forward to motivate BE professionals and researchers to invest their time and efforts into digital disruptions. Among the relevant studies presenting CFs in the BE, these have been used for modeling safe walking and cycling routes [30], untangling the concept of urban ecosystem services [31], risk management in sustainable smart cities [19], evaluating heritage protection policies and disputes [32], modeling and implementing smart universities [33], six-sigma-based smart city management [18], blockchain smart contracts for real estate deals [7], UAV-based advertisements, and others [15].…”

“…Using these technologies, the key information is made available to industry stakeholders. However, due to the nascency of such technologies, risks are presented to the users and society, including the privacy and safety of the user data, system failures due to data overload, manipulation of the prices and other aspects of properties, and others [5,14,19]. Qayyum et al [18] reviewed 34 systematically identified and shortlisted articles to propose a six-sigma-based method to manage smart cities.…”

With the boom of industry 4.0 technologies and their adoption in the built environment (BE), conceptual frameworks (CFs) are increasingly developed to facilitate the adoption. It is becoming increasingly important to develop a standard or guide for new BE research entrants and aspirants who want to conduct a systematic literature review and develop such CFs. However, they struggle to find a standard and reproducible procedure to conduct systematic literature reviews and develop CFs successfully. Accordingly, the current study based on requests and inspirations from nascent BE researchers presents guidelines about conducting such studies. A simplistic yet reproducible methodology is presented that can be followed by BE research aspirants to produce high-quality and well-organized review articles and develop a CF. Using an example of big data-based disaster management in smart cities, the current study provides a practical example of conducting a systematic literature review and developing a CF. It is expected that this research will serve as a baseline for conducting systematic studies in the BE field that other fields of science can adopt. Further, it is expected that this study will motivate the nascent BE researchers to conduct systematic reviews and develop associated CFs with confidence. This will pave the way for adopting disruptive technologies and innovative tools in the BE in line with industry 4.0 requirements.
