Countries in the world have begun to pay more attention to environmental problems in recent years. Because these problems have threatened human life in every aspect and without limit. Climate changes, rising temperatures, melting of glaciers, and the change of natural vegetation are among the threatening environmental issues and many countries act together in the international area on these issues. Protection of ecological balance and natural life, use of renewable energy sources, recycling of wastes, environmentally friendly production methods are strong solutions to be brought to environmental problems. In addition, original academic studies should be conducted to bring solution to the these issues. In this context, bibliometric studies, which is one of the most important reference sources of science policies, come to the fore. In these studies, publications produced by individuals or institutions are analyzed after determining their subject, period and region. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the master and doctorate theses registered under the title of environment problems in the Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education between 1978-2018 in line with various parameters by using bibliometric analysis technique. In accordance with this purpose, environmental problems were written in the search section of the web page of the Thesis Center of the Higher Education Council and the master's and doctorate theses were analyzed in detail. 214 master's and doctoral theses have written under the title of urbanization in Turkey by the end of 2018. 36 of these theses are doctoral theses and 178 of them are master's theses. In the scope of the subject, bibliometric studies can be performed on topics such as environment, environmental policy and environmental law in the following years except for the title of environmental problems. In addition, in these subjects comparisons between countries, branches of science and public and private sectors producing publications will be useful for contributing to the literature.
