A systematic literature review was performed for the use of GIS technologies in managing public built assets. High level trend analysis was complemented with in depth study of 62 research works divided into 11 asset classes. An NLP based tool is also presented to address some of the shortcomings of keyword co-occurrence analysis. The tool analyzes keywords based on research topics and presents potential research gaps for each given topic. The method can also use a larger amount of keyword terms without resulting in cluttered graphs. There are future research opportunities for water Resources, risk assessment, physical environment, growth forecasting, and imaging and remote sensing. There are also needs for improved visualization, and unified software solutions which include data integration such as GIS and BIM. More studies need to be done on specific asset types in order to evaluate impact and address implementation challenges. Technology readiness needs to be improved to facilitate adoption among practitioners in industry and government.
