Resumen
Building information modeling (BIM) has emerged as one of the key trends in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As interest in BIM rapidly increased, the quantity of related literature also increased, thus, it has become important to analyze and identify the key topics and trends in BIM research over this period. Therefore, in order to analyze the research and technology trends related to BIM in Korea, we used the text-mining technique. In addition, by analyzing BIM-related papers using text-mining technology, we can analyze the patterns, main research trends, and trends in specific fields through data preprocessing, which formalizes the unstructured data of sentences, thus presenting us with a specific strategic plan for the future direction of research and technology related to BIM in Korea. In order to propose a strategic direction for future BIM-related research and technology in Korea, in this study, many researches related to BIM in Korea were collected and changes in the patterns and research trends of the BIM research periods were analyzed by dividing them it into the periods of introduction, development, and adaptation using text-mining methods and techniques, frequency analysis, and topic modeling methods. Therefore, in the future, BIM will be developed not only in the field of architecture but in all fields related to the construction industries, such as civil engineering, aviation, and shipping, and more active research will be conducted in various fields.
