Yeşil Dönüşümün Evrimsel Analizi: Küresel ve Ulusal Ölçekte Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışma misyon odaklı toplumsal ve ekonomik dönüşüm sürecini ifade eden yeşil dönüşüm alanının küresel ve ulusal ölçekte evrimsel gelişimini karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz etmektedir. Bibliyometri yöntemiyle yürütülen çalışmada bilim haritalama tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bilim haritalama, bilimsel araştırma alanlarının evrimini incelemeye ve araştırma alanının mevcut tematik kalıplarını belirlemeye imkân tanıyan stratejik bir araçtır. Evrimsel analize konu olan iki ayrı veri seti 2010-2024 dönem aralığı için WoS ve TRDizin veri kaynakları kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, yeşil dönüşüm literatürünün küresel ölçekte makro ekonomik dönüşüm, dijitalleşme ve finansal mekanizmalar odağında gelişim gösterdiğini, ulusal ölçekte ise Avrupa Birliği iklim politikaları, yenilenebilir enerji, kurumsal yönetişim ve inovasyon odağında şekillendiğini göstermektedir. Küresel literatürde tematik yapı daha bütünleşik olup, dönüşümün ekonomik ve teknolojik boyutu politika alanında entegre bir yapı sergilemektedir. Ulusal literatür ise politika araçları, analizler ve sektörel uygulamalar ile bağlama duyarlı bir yapı karakterine sahiptir. Ulusal literatürde kimya ve malzeme biliminin niş alanlar olarak yeşil dönüşüm literatürüne önemli ölçüde katkı sağladığı dikkat çekmektedir. Türkiye’nin yeşil dönüşüm politika belgelerinde yer alan kanıta dayalı politika yapım önceliği dikkate alındığında araştırma sonuçlarının rasyonel karar verme süreçlerini desteklemesi beklenmektedir.

Evolutionary Analysis of Green Transformation: A Comparative Analysis on Global and National Scales

Öz

This study comparatively analyzes the evolutionary development of the green transformation field which expresses a mission-oriented social and economic transformation process on a global and national scale. In the study conducted with the bibliometry method the science mapping technique was used. Science mapping is a strategic tool that allows examining the evolution of scientific research areas and determining the current thematic patterns of the research area. Two separate data sets subject to evolutionary analysis were obtained for the 2010-2024 period using WoS and TRDizin data sources. The analysis results show that the green transformation literature has developed with a focus on macroeconomic transformation, digitalization, and financial mechanisms on a global scale while it has been shaped with a focus on European Union climate policies, renewable energy, corporate governance, and innovation on a national scale. In the global literature, the thematic structure is more integrated and the economic and technological dimensions of the transformation exhibit an integrated structure in the policy area. The national literature on the other hand, has a context-sensitive structural character with policy tools, analyses and sectoral applications. In the national literature, it is noteworthy that chemistry and materials science contribute significantly to the green transformation literature as niche areas. Considering the evidence-based policymaking priority in Turkey's green transformation policy documents the research results are expected to support rational decision-making processes.
