Kırsal turizm uygulamalarının son yıllarda sadece ekonomik kalkınmanın sağlanması açısından değil aynı zamanda kültürel mirasın korunması ve çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin teşvik edilebilmesi açısından son derece önemli olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kırsal turizm alanında yapılan araştırmaların kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizi yapılarak araştırmaların gelişimi haritalandırılmakta, temel katkılar belirlenmekte, alanda en çok yayın yapan yazarlar, yayın yapılan ülkeler ve iş birlikleri belirlenmekte ve ortaya çıkan trendler ile boşluklar vurgulanmaktadır. Web of Science (WoS) ve Scopus gibi başlıca akademik veri tabanlarından elde edilen verilerin kullanıldığı analizler, 2024 Ağustos’a kadar 1986 – 2024 yılları arasında yapılan 1760 yayını kapsamaktadır ve verilerin görselleştirilmesi için VOSviewer ve CiteSpace gibi araçlar kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, kırsal turizm araştırmalarında önemli bir ilerleme olduğunu ve çeşitli ülke ve kurumlardan kayda değer katkılar sağlandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırmanın ana temaları arasında sürdürülebilir kalkınma, toplumsal etkiler ve kırsal turizmin ekonomik çeşitlendirmedeki rolü yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma aynı zamanda önemli yazarları ve en yüksek atıf alan yayınları belirleyerek iş birliği ağlarına ve araştırma noktalarına ayrıntılı bir genel bakış sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, ilgili alandaki boşluğun doldurulmasına olanak sağlayarak, gelecekte kırsal turizm alanında yapılacak araştırmalara ve stratejik planlamalara rehberlik etmekte, araştırmacılar ve sektör temsilcileri için oldukça değerli bilgiler ortaya koymaktadır.

A bibliometric analysis of rural tourism studies

Öz

It has become clear in recent years that rural tourism practices are essential not only for economic development but also for the protection of cultural heritage and the promotion of environmental sustainability. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of rural tourism studies to map the research development, identify critical contributions, identify the most published authors, countries, and collaborations in the field, and highlight emerging trends and gaps. The analysis covers 1760 publications between 1986 and 2024 and August 2024, using data from major academic databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. Tools such as VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to visualize the research data. The results show that there has been considerable progress in rural tourism research, as well as substantial contributions from various countries and institutions. The main themes of the research include sustainable development, cultural heritage, and the role of rural tourism in economic diversification. This study also provides a detailed overview of collaboration networks and research hotspots, identifying key authors and the most highly cited publications. The study provides valuable information for researchers and sector representatives, helping to fill a field gap and guiding future research and strategic planning in rural tourism.
