Review of Research on Biophilic Building with Bibliometric Analysis Assessment

Abstract

Biophilic design, an approach emphasizing the integration of nature into human life, is gaining increasing importance. This bibliometric review and content analysis aim to comprehensively analyze and synthesize the scientific literature in the field of biophilic building design. In this context, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and content analysis were conducted to identify trends and research gaps in biophilic building research conducted between 2006 and 2023. Using Scopus data, the analysis was performed with the Bibliometrix tool. The study results identify the most influential countries, institutions, studies, authors, and keywords focusing on concepts such as biophilic design, biophilic architecture, and biophilic building. According to the findings, the study highlights the importance of incorporating natural systems and processes into the design of the built environment to enhance human health. This research underscores the significance of studies on the impact of biophilic design on mental health, overall well-being, and social relationships.

Biyofilik Bina Konulu Araştırmaların Bibliyometrik Analiz Yönetim ile İncelenmesi

Abstract

Doğanın insan yaşamıyla bütünleşmesini vurgulayan bir yaklaşım olan biyofilik tasarım giderek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu bibliyometrik inceleme ve içerik analizi, biyofilik bina tasarımı alanındaki bilimsel literatürü kapsamlı bir şekilde analiz etmeyi ve sentezlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, 2006-2023 yılları arasında yapılan biyofilik bina araştırmalarındaki eğilimleri ve araştırma boşluklarını belirlemek için kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analiz ve içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz, Scopus verileri kullanılarak Bibliometrix aracı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, biyofilik tasarım, biyofilik mimari ve biyofilik bina gibi kavramlara odaklanan en etkili ülkeleri, kurumları, çalışmaları, yazarları ve anahtar kelimeleri tanımlamaktadır. Bulgulara göre çalışma, insan sağlığını geliştirmek için doğal sistem ve süreçlerin yapılı çevre tasarımına dahil edilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu araştırma, biyofilik tasarımın ruh sağlığı, genel refah ve sosyal ilişkiler üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin çalışmaların öneminin altını çizmektedir.
