Mapping the Evolution of Sea Outfall Research: Insights for Marine Environmental Sustainability

Öz

Effective management of sea outfall is a critical topic in marine environmental science, sustainability regulations, and adaptation for the road maps. Therefore, the development of sea outfall research is mapped in this study by addressing 248 articles published during 1970 – 2023. A detailed assessment of the field’s evolution is provided through a combination of bibliometric and content analysis. Network analysis techniques, including co-occurrence, co-authorship, citation, and bibliographic coupling, are used to identify dominant research topics, citation patterns, and productive authors and countries. Subsequently, content analysis is applied to investigate the attributes, research methods, and gaps in the existing research. A new and detailed classification of sea outfall research is obtained from the content analysis namely: field studies, laboratory experiments, and data analysis, with consideration to the methodologies applied in the studies (modelling, numerical analysis, experimental techniques, simulation, and field studies). The findings not only highlight the progression of sea outfall research but also offer new perspectives that could inform future research and strategic investments aimed at enhancing marine environmental sustainability and managmenet.

Deniz Deşarjı Araştırmalarının Evriminin Haritalandırılması: Deniz Çevresinin Sürdürülebilirliği için Öneriler

Öz

Deniz deşarjının etkin yönetimi, deniz çevre bilimi, sürdürülebilirlik düzenlemeleri ve yol haritalarına uyum açısından kritik bir konudur. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada 1970 - 2023 yılları arasında yayınlanan 248 makale ele alınarak deniz çıkışı araştırmalarının gelişimi haritalandırılmıştır. Bibliyometrik ve içerik analizinin bir kombinasyonu yoluyla alanın gelişiminin ayrıntılı bir değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Ortak araştırma konularını, atıf modellerini, üretken yazarları ve ülkeleri belirlemek için eş-oluşum, eş-yazarlık, atıf ve bibliyografik bağlantı dahil olmak üzere ağ analizi teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra, mevcut araştırmadaki nitelikleri, araştırma yöntemlerini ve boşlukları araştırmak için içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. İçerik analizinden, çalışmalarda uygulanan metodolojiler (modelleme, sayısal analiz, deneysel teknikler, simülasyon ve saha çalışmaları) dikkate alınarak saha çalışmaları, laboratuvar deneyleri ve veri analizi olmak üzere yeni ve ayrıntılı bir deniz deşarjı araştırması sınıflandırması elde edilmiştir. Bulgular sadece deniz deşarjı araştırmalarının gelişimini vurgulamakla kalmamakta, aynı zamanda deniz çevresinin sürdürülebilirliğini ve yönetimini geliştirmeyi amaçlayan gelecekteki araştırmalara ve stratejik yatırımlara bilgi sağlayabilecek yeni perspektifler sunmaktadır.
