A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF CONSUMER BEHAVIOR AND NATURAL DISASTERS: A BIBLIOMETRIC AND TCCM-BASED REVIEW

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the body of knowledge focusing on the relationship between consumer behavior and natural disasters from a bibliometric and systematic perspective. The first step of the research analyzed the bibliometric outputs of 161 articles published between 1991 and 2024 on consumer behavior in response to natural disasters. The dataset was retrieved from the Web of Science database in accordance with predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. During the bibliometric analysis process, co-citation and keyword co-occurrence analyses were conducted using VOSviewer software. In the second stage of the research, 31 empirical studies from the dataset were reviewed using Theory, Context, Characteristics, and Methods to examine the theoretical development of natural disasters and consumer behavior. The Journal of Consumer Research has shaped the publication focus, Icek Ajzen and Roger Clarke are significant authors, and the Theory of Planned Behavior provides a theoretical basis for the area. The TCCM analysis demonstrates the prominence of risk-based theories, a contextual emphasis on floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, and the dominance of quantitative research approaches. Moreover, research intensity increases immediately after large-scale disasters but declines in post-disaster periods. This pattern indicates that changes in consumption behavior are predominantly examined through event-driven and short-term perspectives.
