ANALYSIS OF ENERGY STUDIES IN TURKESTAN WITH VISUAL MAPPING TECHNIQUE

Abstract

The most fundamental problem of today's world awaiting a solution is global climate change. The most important reason for global climate change is the damage to the environment caused by fossil fuels used in production and consumption. Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, which are among the countries in the Turkestan region with high potential in terms of renewable energy resources, are interested in solar and wind energy. In this context, international scientific publications on renewable energy addressed to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, scanned in the Web of Science database, were examined with bibliometric analysis and visual mapping techniques. In order to determine how much interest is shown in renewable energy in these countries, 163,383 studies were reached as a result of the search conducted on 26.08.2024 in the Web of Science database by typing "renewable energy" as the subject. 59,448 of these studies are open to access, and Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were selected with country filtering and 103 publications were found. Researchers in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are showing increasing interest in renewable energy, especially after 2022.

TÜRKİSTAN’DA ENERJİ ÇALIŞMALARININ GÖRSEL HARİTALAMA TEKNİĞİ İLE ANALİZİ

Abstract

Günümüz dünyasının çözüm bekleyen en temel sorunu küresel iklim değişikliğidir. Küresel iklim değişikliğinin en önemli sebebi ise üretim ve tüketimde kullanılan fosil kaynaklı yakıtlar yoluyla çevreye verilen zarardır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları bakımından yüksek potansiyele sahip olan Türkistan bölgesinde yer alan ülkelerden Kırgızistan, Tacikistan ve Özbekistan güneş ve rüzgâr enerjisiyle ilgilenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda Web of Science veri tabanında taranan Kırgızistan, Tacikistan ve Özbekistan adresli yenilenebilir enerji konulu uluslararası bilimsel yayınlar bibliyometrik analiz ve görsel haritalama tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Bu ülkelerde yenilenebilir enerji konusuna ne kadar ilgi gösterildiğini tespit etmek amacıyla 26.08.2024 tarihinde Web of Science veri tabanında konu olarak “renewable energy” yazılarak yapılan tarama neticesinde 163.383 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmalardan 59.448’ı erişime açık olup ülke filtrelemesi ile Kırgızistan, Tacikistan ve Özbekistan seçilmiş ve 103 yayın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kırgızistan, Tacikistan ve Özbekistan’da araştırmacılar yenilenebilir enerji konusuna özellikle 2022 yılından itibaren artan bir ilgi göstermektedirler.
