Abstract

Havacılık sektöründe insan faktörlerinden kaynaklanan kazaların, teknolojik gelişmelere rağmen devam etmesi, bu alanda araştırmaların sürdürülmesinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. İnsan faktörleri, uçuş emniyetinde kritik bir unsur olup karar verme süreçlerini, operasyonel verimliliği ve risk yönetimi stratejilerini doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2014–2024 yılları arasında insan faktörleri ve havacılık kesişiminde gerçekleştirilen akademik yayınları incelemek ve bibliy6 ometrik analiz yoluyla alandaki eğilimleri ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma kapsamında, Dimensions veri tabanından elde edilen 449 yayın VOSviewer programı kullanılarak tablo ve görsel haritalar aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, ilgili yayınların büyük bir kısmının 2023 yılında yayımlandığını ve bu alandaki akademik ilginin arttığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, en çok atıf alan çalışmanın 2016 yılında Thomas B. Sheridan tarafından gerçekleştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Metin madenciliği analizinde “factor” terimi merkezi bir konumda bulunurken, "accident", "aircraft", "work" ve "problem" terimlerinin öne çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçların, gelecekte gerçekleştirilecek akademik çalışmalara rehberlik etme konusunda son derece önemli ve değerli bilgiler sağladığı, ayrıca uçuş emniyeti ve operasyonel etkinliğin sağlanmasında temel ve vazgeçilmez bir unsur olan insan faktörlerinin kritik rolünü ayrıntılı bir şekilde ortaya koyarak, bu alanda çok daha kapsamlı, derinlemesine ve detaylı araştırmalar yürütülmesi gerekliliğini açık ve net bir biçimde gösterdiği değerlendirilmektedir.

Bibliometric Analysis of Human Factor Literature in Aviation

Abstract

The continued occurrence of accidents caused by human factors in the aviation sector, even with technological advance6 ments, highlights the necessity of maintaining ongoing research in the field. Human factors constitute a critical element in aviation safety, influencing decision6making processes, operational efficiency, and risk management strategies. The aim of the study was to examine publications at the intersection of human factors and aviation during the 2014–2024 period and to reveal the dynamics in the literature through bibliometric analysis. A total of 449 publications were obtained from the Dimensions database and were analyzed using the VOSviewer program via tables and visual maps. It was found that the majority of the related publications were published in 2023 and that the most cited study was conducted by Thomas B. Sheridan in 2016. In addition, it was determined that the term “factor” was positioned centrally in the text mining analysis, while the terms “accident”, “aircraft”, “work”, and “problem” were prominently highlighted. These results are considered to provide significant and valuable information for guiding future research efforts and to clearly demonstrate the necessity of conducting more comprehensive and detailed studies on the critical role of human factors, which are fundamentally essential for ensuring aviation safety.
