Abstract

Despite its recent adoption, Industry 5.0 has attracted significant attention from researchers across various fields. However, the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management, Operation, and Conservation (AECMO&C) industry, particularly in the context of built cultural heritage conservation, has lagged in this regard. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of conservation professionals’ perceptions regarding the adoption of Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, as well as the perceived barriers and the skills needed to address them. A survey questionnaire was designed, tested, and implemented to collect relevant data. Analysis of the collected data reveals that, although there is a clear recognition of the significance of Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, their application in built cultural heritage conservation remains limited. Future initiatives should prioritise bridging knowledge gaps, enhancing training programmes, and securing necessary resources to overcome these existing barriers.
