Abstract

In this study, published studies (articles, papers, notes, book chapters, etc.) on leisure and leisure, which have English equivalents of "leisure time" and "free time", respectively, were analyzed according to the bibliometric analysis method. In this direction, there are 2,649 studies on leisure in the international literature published between 1929 and 2022; Regarding leisure time, 565 studies published between 1955 and 2022 were included in the analysis. The data used in the bibliometric analysis were obtained from the studies reached as a result of the scanning carried out by typing "leisure time" and "free time" in the "title" field in the Scopus database on December 17, 2021. The bibliometric analyzes of the studies on leisure and leisure in the international literature obtained from the Scopus database were evaluated according to the parameters of "publication year, authors, subject areas, institutions, countries, publication type, sources and keywords". Relevant data obtained through the Scopus database were transferred to the VOSviewer bibliographic analysis program, and "co-authorship" and "co-occurrence" analyzes were performed. In the analysis, visualizations were made on concepts with high connection strength in the VOSviewer program. Accordingly, “the most collaborating authors, institutions, countries and the most used keywords” were presented in the form of relationship maps created through VOSviewer. From the findings obtained as a result of the bibliographic analysis carried out, the development of studies in the international literature on leisure and leisure time subjects was evaluated, and it was tried to shed light on future studies.

“Boş ve Serbest Zaman” Kavramlarına Yönelik Çalışmaların Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada İngilizce karşılıkları sırasıyla “leisure time” ve “free time” olan boş zaman ve serbest zaman konuları ile ilgili yayımlanan çalışmalar (makale, bildiri, not, kitap bölümü vb.) bibliyometrik analiz yöntemine göre incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, uluslararası alanyazında boş zaman ile ilgili, 1929-2022 yılları arasında yayımlanmış 2.649 çalışma; serbest zaman ile ilgili ise 1955-2022 yılları arasında yayımlanmış 565 çalışma incelemeye dahil edilmiştir. Bibliyometrik analizde kullanılan veriler, 17 Aralık 2021 tarihinde Scopus veri tabanında “başlık” alanına “leisure time” ve “free time” yazılarak gerçekleştirilen tarama sonucunda ulaşılan çalışmalardan elde edilmiştir. Scopus veri tabanından elde edilen uluslararası alanayzında boş zaman ve serbest zaman konularında yapılan çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizleri, “yayın yılı, yazarlar, konu alanları, kurumlar, ülkeler, yayın türü, kaynaklar ve anahtar kelimeler” parametrelerine göre değerlendirilmiştir. Scopus veri tabanı üzerinden ulaşılan ilgili veriler VOSviewer bibliyografik analiz programına aktarılarak “ortak yazarlılık” (Co-Authorship) ve “birlikte bulunma” (Co-occurrence) analizleri yapılmıştır. Analizlerde, VOSviewer programında bağlantı gücü yüksek kavramlar üzerine görselleştirme yapılmıştır. Buna göre “en fazla iş birliği yapan yazarlar, kurumlar, ülkeler ve en fazla kullanılan anahtar kelimeler” VOSviewer aracılığıyla oluşturulan ilişki haritaları şeklinde görselleştirilerek sunulmuştur. Gerçekleştirilen bibliyografik analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulardan, boş zaman ve serbest zaman konularına ilişkin uluslararası literatürdeki çalışmaların gelişimi değerlendirilerek, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalara ışık tutulmaya çalışılmıştır.
