AB  - Bu çalışma iletişim literatüründe etkisi giderek belirginleşmeye başlayan ve Türkiye’de ne Ulakbim Doçentlik Temel Alanlarında ne de Dergipark çalışma alanlarında yer verilmeyen kentsel iletişim alanını tanıtmak, kenti iletişim bağlamında inceleyen çalışmaların bir ortak başlıkta değerlendirilmesini sağlamak ve ileride yapılacak araştırmalara ön ayak olmak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Bu nedenlerle çalışma bibliyometrik ve sistematik literatür analizi olarak tasarlanmıştır.Çalışmada güvenilirlik, yaygınlık ve nitelik gözetilerek Web of Science veri tabanında iletişim temel alanında yer alan çalışmalar incelenmiş ve toplamda 49 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmalar, ilk önce temel verilere ulaşmak amacıyla Web of Science’ta analiz edilmiş, ardından VOSviewer ile yaygınlık, anahtar kelime, ortak kaynakça ve atıf analizlerine yer verilmiştir. Son olarak makalelerin içeriği ve kullanılan araçlardan çıkan temel veriler ışığında, MAXQDA programı aracılığıyla içerik kodlaması gerçekleştirilmiş, veriler dört temel kategoriye ayrılmış (kenti ele alış biçimi, yöntem, ayrım ve medya incelemesi) her kategori kendi içerisinde kod ve alt kodlara ayrılarak çalışmaların ortak özellikleri ortaya konmuştur.Çalışmanın sonucunda görülmüştür ki kentsel iletişim, kenti çok farklı yönleri ile ele alan, yöntem çeşitliliği olan ve hatta kendine ait yöntem önerisi olan, teorik olarak çok farklı disiplinlerden beslenen, her geçen gün yeni tartışma konularının ortaya çıktığı dinamik bir disiplindir. Amerika ve Avrupa’da önemi giderek artarken Türkiye’de de olguya ilişkin çalışmaların artması ve kentsel iletişim başlığı altında birleşmesi ve iletişim bilimi altında disiplinleşmesi gerekmektedir. Bu gereklilik sadece bilimsel gelişim için değil daha yaşanabilir, sürdürülebilir ya da akıllı kentlerin inşasında iletişimcilerin aktif katılımı sağlamak için de bir zorunluluktur.

N2  - This study aims to conceptualize and position the field of urban communication, which is gradually gaining visibility in the literature but is not yet included in either the Ulakbim Associate Professorship Core Areas or Dergipark’s designated research fields. It seeks to provide a framework for evaluating studies that examine cities from a communication perspective under a common heading and to lay the groundwork for future research. Therefore, the study was designed as a bibliometric and systematic literature review.In this study, with careful attention to reliability, scope, and quality, relevant publications in the core area of communication were identified in the Web of Science database, resulting in a total of 49 studies. First, these studies were analyzed in the Web of Science to extract basic data, and then VOSviewer was used to conduct analyses of prevalence, keywords, co-citations, and references. Finally, based on the data obtained from the articles and the analytical tools employed, a content coding process was carried out using MAXQDA. The data were categorized into four main categories—approaches to urban issues, methodological approaches, social differentiation, and media analysis. Each category was further divided into specific codes and sub-codes to reveal the common features across the studies.The results show that urban communication is a dynamic field that examines the city from diverse perspectives, employs a wide range of methods (and even proposes its own methodological approaches), and is theoretically supported by various disciplines. As new topics of discussion continue to emerge, the field is attracting increasing interest in the US and Europe. However, it is also essential for more research on this phenomenon to be conducted in Turkey, and for such studies to be brought together under the heading of urban communication and institutionalized within communication studies. This need is not only critical for academic development but also for ensuring the active participation of communication scholars in building more livable, sustainable, and smart cities.
