Destinasyon Rekabetçiliği Üzerine Yapılan Araştırmaların Vosviewer Aracılığıyla Bibliyometrik Bir Analizi

Abstract

Destinasyon rekabetçiliği, günümüz turizm endüstrisinde hayati bir öneme sahiptir. Son dönemde, turizmin ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel etkilerine dair artan farkındalık, destinasyon rekabetçiliği üzerine yapılan araştırmalarda büyük bir önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışma, sosyal bilimler alanında sıkça kullanılan bir araştırma yöntemi olan bibliyometrik analiz sayesinde, destinasyon rekabetçiliği alanındaki araştırma eğilimlerinin belirlenmesi, bu alandaki araştırmaların çeşitli yönlerinin tanınması ve aynı zamanda alandaki boşlukları tespit ederek ilerleyen süreçte yapılması planlanan çalışmalara katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, WOS veri tabanında 1999 ile 2024 yılları arasında yayınlanmış olan 1108 farklı türdeki eserin bibliyometrik verileri temel alınmıştır. Analiz VOSviwer yazılımı yararlanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Destinasyon rekabetçiliğine yönelik gerçekleştirilen bibliyometrik analizde yazar, kurum, ülke ve anahtar kelime açısından atıf ve eser incelemelerine zaman, yoğunluk ve bağlantılılık perspektifinden yer verilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın, destinasyon rekabetçiliği alanında mevcut durumun anlaşılması ve gelecekteki eğilimlerin belirlenmesi açısından literatüre katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Destination Competitiveness in Tourism via Vosviewer

Abstract

Destination competitiveness is of vital importance in today's tourism industry. In recent years, the growing awareness of the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism has led to a significant increase in research on destination competitiveness. This study aims to identify research trends in the field of destination competitiveness, to recognize various aspects of research in this field, and to contribute to future studies by identifying gaps in the field through bibliometric analysis, which is a frequently used research method in the field of social sciences. This study is based on the bibliometric data of 1108 different types of works published in the WOS database between 1999 and 2024.The analysis was carried out using VOSviwer software. In the bibliometric analysis of destination competitiveness, citation and work reviews in terms of author, institution, country and keyword are included from the perspective of time, density and connectedness. This study is expected to contribute to the literature in terms of understanding the current situation and identifying future trends in the field of destination competitiveness.
