A Bibliometric Profile of Green Criminology and its Reflections on Tourism

Öz

Green criminology is accepted as a sub-field of criminology and investigates threats against the entire ecosystem. The limited and unbalanced distribution of natural resources in the world and the rapid development of international trade has increased crimes against the elements of the ecosystem. This increasing number of crimes brings along multifaceted economic losses and health and safety issues for all living things. This study aims to use the bibliometric method to evaluate the research activities on green criminology, which has expanded its field of study since the 1990s and has become an interdisciplinary research field, by searching the studies on green criminology and discussing their reflections on tourism. This study uses the Scopus database to access a total of 360 documents published between 2010-2021. This study also examines the descriptive analysis results, annual scientific production, most cited publications, trending topics, most frequently used and related words, word cloud, tree map, three-field plot, world cooperation map, and cooperation network between authors and institutions. The study has determined 2020 to have been the most productive year regarding the number of publications. The article also investigates studies on the relationship between green criminology and tourism. The fact that only four studies are found on green criminology and tourism indicates the need for new studies in this context.

Yeşil Kriminolojinin Bibliyometrik Bir Profili ve Turizme Yansımaları

Öz

Kriminolojinin alt sahası olarak kabul edilen yeşil kriminoloji, tüm ekosisteme karşı oluşan tehdit unsurlarını araştırmaktadır. Dünyadaki doğal kaynakların sınırlı ve dengesiz dağılımı diğer taraftan uluslararası ticaretin hızı gelişimi, ekosistemin unsurlarına yönelik suçları arttırmaktadır. Artan suç sayısı, çok yönlü ekonomik kayıpları, tüm canlılar için sağlık ve güvenlik sorununu beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren çalışma alanını genişleten ve disiplinler arası bir araştırma sahasına sahip olan, yeşil kriminoloji konusunda araştırma faaliyetlerini bibliyometrik yöntemle değerlendirmek, yeşil kriminoloji üzerine yapılan çalışmaları araştırarak turizme olan yansımalarını tartışmaktır. Scopus veri tabanı kullanılan çalışmada, 2010-2021 yılları arasında toplamda 360 yayına ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada betimsel analiz sonuçlarına, yıllık bilimsel üretime, en çok atıf alan yayınlara, trend konulara, en sık kullanılan ve ilintili sözcüklere, kelime bulutuna, ağaç haritasına, 3-bölgeli grafiğe, Dünya iş birliği haritasına, yazar ve kurumlar arası iş birliği ağına bakılmıştır. En çok yayın yapılan yılın 2020 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yeşil kriminoloji ve turizm ilişkisi üzerine yapılan çalışmalar da incelenmiştir. Yeşil kriminoloji ve turizm alanında sadece 4 çalışmanın olması bu bağlamda yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir.
