AB  - The aim of this research is to reveal the scope of the studies published within the scope of WoS regarding the concept of horticultural therapeutics and the variables used. Accordingly, the data obtained from the WoS database were analyzed through 1.6.19 VOSviewer. In our study, 673 results were reached in the search made from 1981 to 2024 by selecting “all fields” in Web of Science with the keywords (“horticultural therapy” OR “horticultural activity” OR “horticulture therapy” OR “therapeutic horticulture” OR “horticulture therapeutic recreation”). However, since the exclusion criteria were determined in our study, only articles and compilation articles and 458 data in the SCI-Expanded, SSCI, ESCI, and A&HCI indexes were analyzed. In the data analysis, analyses were conducted to determine the number of citations received and works pro-duced by authors, journals, countries, organizations, and the number of most frequently used words. The most frequently used keywords in publications related to the concept of horticultural therapy were horticultural therapy with 149 repetitions, gardening with 50 repetitions, mental health with 30 repetitions, therapeutic horticulture with 28 repetitions, and well-being with 22 repetitions. It is seen that horticultural therapy is the subject of “stress”, “anxiety”, “depression” and “psychological well-being” keywords.

N2  - Bu araştırmanın amacı, WoS kapsamında yayımlanan çalışmaların hortikültürel terapötik kavramına ilişkin kapsamını ve kullanılan değişkenleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu doğrultuda WoS veri tabanından elde edilen veriler 1.6.19 VOSviewer aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda 1981-2024 yılları arasında Web of Science’ta “tüm alanlar” seçilerek (“hortikültürel terapi” VEYA “hortikültürel aktivite” VEYA “hortikültür terapisi” VEYA “terapötik hortikültür” VEYA “hortikültür terapötik rekreasyon”) anahtar sözcükleri ile yapılan aramada 673 sonuca ulaşılmıştır. Ancak çalışmamızda dışlama kriterleri belirlendiğinden sadece makaleler ve derleme makaleler ile SCI-Expanded, SSCI, ESCI ve A&HCI indekslerindeki 458 veri analize alınmıştır. Veri analizinde yazarlara göre alınan atıf sayıları ve üretilen çalışmalar, dergiler, ülkeler, kuruluşlar ve en sık kullanılan kelime sayılarının belirlenmesine yönelik analizler yapılmıştır. Hortikültürel terapisi kavramıyla ilgili yayınlarda en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler 149 tekrarla hortikültürel terapisi, 50 tekrarla bahçecilik, 30 tekrarla ruh sağlığı, 28 tekrarla terapötik hortikültürel ve 22 tekrarla psikolojik iyi oluş olmuştur. Hortikültürel terapisinin “stres”, “anksiyete”, “depresyon” ve “psikolojik esenlik” anahtar kelimelerinin konusu olduğu görülmektedir.
