Göç ve Yerel Yönetimler: Küresel Eğilimler ve İş Birliği Ağlarının Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Göç, bireylerin yaşam tarzlarını, ailelerini değiştirip dönüştüren ve aynı zamanda göç alan ve göç veren şehirlerin yapısını ve sosyokültürel dokusunu da değiştiren önemli bir sosyolojik olgudur. Göçte, yerel yönetimler göçmenlerin kentsel yaşama uyum sağlamalarında, kamu hizmetlerine erişimlerinde ve sosyal entegrasyon süreçlerinde önemli bir rol oynar. Son yıllarda göç ve yerel yönetimler arasındaki ilişki akademik literatürde giderek artan bir ilgi görmektedir. Bu artan akademik ilgiyi göz önünde bulundurarak, bu çalışma göç ve yerel yönetim araştırmalarına ilişkin kapsamlı ve güncel bir genel bakış sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, göç ve yerel yönetimler alanındaki akademik yayınların bibliyometrik bir analizini sunarak genel eğilimleri, tematik dağılımları ve iş birliği ağlarını ortaya koymaktır. Bibliometrix R paketindeki Biblioshiny fonksiyonu kullanılarak 1991-2025 yılları arasında Web of Science veritabanlarından göç ve yerel yönetimlere ilişkin tüm veriler kullanılarak bibliyometrik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizde yayın sayıları, en çok atıf alan çalışmalar, önde gelen yazarlar ve dergiler, kurumlar ve ülkeler ve anahtar kelime kümeleri yer almaktadır.

Migration and Local Governments: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Trends and Collaboration Networks

Abstract

Migration is a significant sociological phenomenon that not only changes and transforms individuals' lifestyles, lifestyles, and families, but also alters the structure and sociocultural fabric of cities that receive and originate migrants. In migration, local governments play a crucial role in migrants' adaptation to urban life, their access to public services, and social integration processes. In recent years, the relationship between migration and local government has received increasing attention in academic literature. Given this growing academic interest, this study aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of migration and local government research. The aim of this study is to present a bibliometric analysis of academic publications in the field of migration and local government, revealing general trends, thematic distributions, and collaboration networks. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using all data on migration and local government from Web of Science databases between 1991 and 2025 using the Biblioshiny function in the Bibliometrix R package. The analysis included publication counts, most cited studies, leading authors and journals, institutions and countries, and keyword clusters.
