Abstract

According to a research report, it was analyzed that the application of modular construction could shorten the construction period by 20-50% compared to the existing construction method. A number of global construction-related companies are applying modular construction, and research on modular architecture is being actively conducted worldwide. Modular construction, which has recently attracted attention in the housing sector, is a method of assembling externally pre-fabricated members on site, and has advantages such as reduction of manpower input on the site, improvement of productivity, and reduction of construction period. It is attracting attention as an effective alternative. However, it is possible to find out some of the current status of modular construction in Korea, but there is no recent research on the current status of modular construction abroad, and for what purpose foreign countries intend to use modular construction, and to determine to what level the research on modular construction has reached. This is an impossible situation. Therefore, it was necessary to analyze recent trends in modular construction research in Korea and abroad. This paper analyzed the papers related to modular construction based on papers published in domestic and international journals from 2017 to 2021 by applying some text mining techniques. Through this analysis, researches related to modular construction at home and abroad are compared and analyzed, and points to be avoided and directed by Korea are presented in the future.
