Abstract

The importance of sustainability in research has been increasing day by day. This article aims to determine the extent to which sustainability is studied in the context of airport and airline operations in terms of economic, environmental, and social dimensions, and to identify gaps in the literature to guide future research. To achieve this goal, bibliometric analysis is employed. Using the Perish or Publish literature search program, studies obtained from the Scopus database are analyzed using the Vosviewer program to examine the dimensions of sustainability in airport and airline operations. Additionally, the most prolific authors, most cited publications, journals with the highest number of articles published, and the most studied sectors related to the topic are analyzed to contribute to the literature.

HAVALİMANI VE HAVAYOLU İŞLETMELERİNİN SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİĞİ ÜZERİNE BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Her geçen gün önemi artan sürdürülebilirlik üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda aynı oranda artmaktadır. Bu makale ile havalimanı ve havayolu işletmeleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda sürdürülebilirliğin ekonomik, çevresel ve sosyal boyutlarının hangi oranda çalışıldığının tespit edilmesi ve yazındaki boşluklar belirlenerek gelecek çalışmalara yol gösterilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için bibliometrik analiz yönteminden yararlanılmaktadır. Perish or Publish literatür tarama programı kullanılarak Scopus veri tabanından elde edilen çalışmalar Vosviewer programı yardımıyla analiz edilerek havalimanı ve havayolu işletmelerinde sürdürülebilirliğin boyutları incelenmektedir. Yanı sıra konuyla ilgili en çok yayın yapan yazarlar, en fazla atıf alan yayınlar, en fazla makale yayınlayan dergiler, en çok incelenen sektörler analiz edilerek yazına katkı sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır.
