Abstract

Akıllı kentleşme üzerine yapılan araştırmalar, dünya genelindeki şehirlerin sürdürülebilir ve dayanıklı hale gelmesi için önemli bir alanı kapsamaktadır. Yapısal bir genel bakış elde etmek ve araştırmacıların akıllı şehirler araştırmalarının özelliklerine ilişkin öngörüler oluşturmalarına yardımcı olmak için bu makalede bibliyometrik analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bibliyometrik analiz, akademik literatürdeki yayınların sayısal verilerini inceleyerek, belirli bir konu, yazar, dergi, ülke veya kurumla ilgili desenler ve eğilimler ortaya koymayı amaçlayan bir araştırma yöntemidir. Bibliyometrik analiz yazılımları VOSviewer uygulanmasıyla akıllı kentleşme kavramıyla ilgili 2015- 2024 arasında 9 yıllık dönemde “Web of Science” veri tabanında 1299 makale yayımlanmış ve bu makalelerin, anahtar kelimeler esas alınarak konulara göre dağılımlarının ne olduğu ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Ayrıca bu alanda en etkin çalışma yapan yazarlar belirlenmiş, atıf analizleri ile alanın yoğunluk ve iletişim haritaları gösterilmiştir.

SMART URBANIZATION RESEARCH: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

Research on smart urbanization and disaster resilience covers an important area for cities around the world to become sustainable and resilient. These two concepts emerge as complementary elements in the modernization process of cities through infrastructure development, technology integration and disaster preparedness strategies. This study aims to investigate the development of “smart cities” academic studies in the world since 2015. By examining the development process of the concept of smart cities with the bibliometric analysis method, the analysis was interpreted. Bibliometric analysis is a research method that aims to reveal patterns and trends related to a particular subject, author, journal, country or institution by examining the numerical data of publications in the academic literature. 1299 articles on the concept of smart urbanization were published in the “Web of Science” database in the 9-year period between 2015 and 2024, and the distribution of these articles according to the topics based on keywords was revealed. In addition, the most active authors working in this field were identified, and the density and communication maps of the field were shown with citation analysis.
