Abstract

Günümüzde sürdürülebilirlik kavramı, küresel ısınma, kuraklık ve düzensiz sanayileşme gibi artan çevresel zorluklar karşısında giderek daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Bu duruma paralel olarak lojistik sektöründe, çevre dostu uygulamaların hayata geçirilmesi yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu sürdürülebilir yaklaşım ve uygulamalar, işletmelerin çevreye duyarlı bir imaj geliştirerek müşteri sadakatini artırmalarını ve operasyonel maliyetleri azaltarak rekabet avantajı elde etmelerini sağlamaktadır. Bu araştırma, VOSviewer görsel haritalama yöntemini kullanarak 2007-2023 yılları arasında sürdürülebilir lojistik üzerine mevcut literatürü analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, ilgili alandaki son yayınlar incelenerek arama terimleri belirlenmiş ve Web of Science veri tabanında "yeşil lojistik", "sürdürülebilir lojistik", "çevresel lojistik" ve "ekolojik lojistik" kavramları ile bir tarama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan tarama sonucunda konu ile ilgili yapılmış toplam 1232 yayına ulaşılmıştır. Analiz bulguları en fazla yayının (153 yayın) 2022 yılında yapıldığını göstermektedir. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimenin 437 kere kullanılan "yeşil lojistik" olduğu, en fazla yayın ve atıf alan yazarın Syed Abdul Rehman Khan (15 yayın, 1579 atıf) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ülkelere bazında ise Çin'in 384 yayınla ilk sırada yer aldığı görülmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında yapılan taramada alanla ilgili tek bir kavramla sınırlandırma yapılmamış, bir dizi sürdürülebilirlik kavramını kapsayan kapsamlı bir inceleme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu incelemenin gelecekteki araştırmalar için kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sağlaması beklenmektedir. Diğer taraftan bu alandaki çalışmaların özellikle son yıllarda önemli ölçüde arttığı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, bu çalışmanın güncel veriler sağlayarak alana katkıda bulunacağı umulmaktadır.

ANALYSIS OF STUDIES IN THE FIELD OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS WITH VISUAL MAPPING

Abstract

In contemporary society, the notion of "sustainability" is progressively assuming significance due to the mounting issues of global warming, drought, uncontrolled industrialization, and insufficient government regulations pertaining to these matters. This research aims to examine the literature on sustainability in logistics from 2007 to 2021, utilizing the VOSviewer visual mapping method. In this direction, a review of recent publications in the relevant field was conducted to determine the terms for searching, leading to the inclusion of concepts such as "green logistics," "sustainable logistics," "environmental logistics," and "ecological logistics" in the search query within the Web of Science database. The search yielded a total of 881 publications. The analysis revealed that the highest number of publications (133 publications) was observed in 2019 and the most frequently employed keyword was "green logistics". Furthermore, the author with the most publications and highest number of citations was found to be "Syed Abdul Rehman Khan" with 814 citations. Concerning the countries' contributions, China emerged as the leading nation with 271 publications. China also claimed the highest number of citations among the countries examined.
