Understanding the evolution of interconnected cultures and individuals, resembling a complex network, cultural routes serve as bridges between the past and the future, offering the key to cultural richness, diversity, and change. Defined as paths gathered around a specific theme, expressing a common value, cultural routes aim to preserve cultural heritage and support sustainable development and local economic growth. The concept of cultural routes, increasingly present in the literature, is addressed by various researchers through publications in different categories. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis by examining publications related to cultural routes to reveal the dimensions of interaction between researchers and the impacts of their work. Utilizing the Web of Science database with data obtained in September 2023 using the keywords “cultural routes” and “cultural route”, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using the VosViewer program, examining a total of 236 publications. The study is considered significant in determining the direction of the trend in the literature regarding cultural routes.

Kültürel Rotalar ile İlgili Literatüre Bakış: Vosviewer ile Bibliyometrik Analiz

Öz

Karmaşık bir ağ gibi birbirine bağlı olan kültürlerin ve bireylerin evrimini anlamak için kullanılan ve geçmişle gelecek arasında köprüler kurarak kültürel zenginliğin, çeşitliliğin ve değişimin anahtarını sunan kültürel rotalar, belirli bir tema etrafında toplanan ve ortak bir değeri ifade ederek kültürel mirasın korunması ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma ile yerel ekonomik kalkınmayı destekleyen yollar olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Literatürdeki varlığını her geçen gün artıran kültürel rotalar kavramı, pek çok araştırmacı tarafından farklı kategorilerdeki yayınlarla ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında kültürel rotalara ilişkin ortaya konulan yayınların incelenerek araştırmacıların etkileri ile araştırmacılar arasındaki etkileşimin boyutunu ortaya koymak için bibliyometrik analiz yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. “Cultural routes” ve “cultural route” anahtar sözcükleriyle Web of Science veri tabanından 2023 yılı Eylül ayında elde edilen veriler aracılığıyla VosViewer programı kullanılarak yapılan bibliyometrik analiz ile toplam 236 yayının incelenmesi yapılmıştır. Çalışma, kültürel rotalara dair literatürdeki eğilimin yönünü tespit etme açısından önemli bulunmaktadır
