Abstract

Urban heat island has gained significant attention in recent years due to its detrimental impact on the environment and public health. In this study, bibliometric analysis—a quantitative literature evaluation that reveals intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and thematic areas in a field—will assess UHI research, identify trends, and predict future research paths by identifying research gaps. The study examined 5621 articles published in Scopus and 2777 articles published in Web of Science on urban heat islands between 2000 and 2023. R-supported VOSviewer and Biblioshiny were used for data processing and visualization. The countries in which urban heat island studies dominate are China, the United States, Italy, and India, as indicated by the study's findings. It is evident that the majority of research is focused on the measurement of the urban heat island and the analysis of related factors, while there is a lack of research on comprehensive mitigation strategies for implementation.
