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.

This document presents the search strategy adopted with the aim of exploring how the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management, Operation, and Conservation (AECMO&C) industry can adapt and be better prepared to embrace novel Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, ultimately resulting in enhanced conservation practices for the built cultural heritage environment. It follows the PRISMA-S checklist.

Despite being adopted only recently, Industry 5.0 has already attracted significant attention from researchers in various fields. However, the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management, Operation, and Conservation (AECMO&C) industry, particularly in the context of built cultural heritage conservation, has been left behind. Thus, the aim of this work is to better understand the perceptions of conservation professionals regarding the adoption of Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, the perceived barriers and needed skills to overcome them. A survey questionnaire has been designed, tested, and implemented. After analysing and discussing the information collected, it has been concluded that while there is a clear recognition of the importance of Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, their adoption in built cultural heritage conservation remains limited. Future efforts should focus on bridging knowledge gaps, enhancing training, and securing resources to overcome existing barriers.

This database contains all the responses from the participants in the survey: Industry 5.0 Concepts and Enabling Technologies, Towards an Enhanced Conservation Practice. The main purpose of this survey was to explore how the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management, Operation, and Conservation (AECMO&C)industry can adapt and better prepare to embrace the innovative principles and enabling technologies of Industry 5.0. This could ultimately result inenhanced conservation practices for built cultural heritage.

This document presents the protocol adopted to conduct a systematic literature review with the aim of exploring how the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Management, Operation, and Conservation (AECMO&C) industry can adapt and be better prepared to embrace novel Industry 5.0 principles and enabling technologies, ultimately resulting in enhanced conservation practices for the built cultural heritage environment. It follows the checklist provided by PRISMA-P and guidelines of the PRISMA-P Explanation and Elaboration.
