THE CONCEPTUAL AND THEMATIC EVOLUTION OF SMART DISASTER MANAGEMENT LITERATURE: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON VOSVIEWER AND RSTUDIO

Abstract

This study aims to examine academic publications related to smart disaster management in the Scopus database from a bibliometric perspective. Within the scope of the study, a search using the keyword ‘smart disaster management’ between 2021 and 2025 revealed that studies were published in different publication types. Accordingly, during the period in question, there were 782 conference papers, 689 articles, 183 book chapters, 169 conference reviews, 87 review articles, 30 books, 6 editorials, 3 notes, and 2 letters. The data obtained were analyzed using VOSviewer and RStudio Bibliometrix software. Analyses have revealed a significant increase in the number of publications in the field of disaster management in recent years, with themes such as climate change, risk reduction, sustainability, and societal resilience coming to the forefront. China, India, the United States, and South Korea were identified as the countries producing the most publications, and interdisciplinary collaborations were found to be gaining importance. This study explicitly fills a significant gap in the literature by systematically synthesizing the intersection of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and disaster governance, offering a novel roadmap for future research. The study presents a comprehensive assessment of the development trends in the disaster management literature, offering guidance for future research.
