Analytical Approach to Society 5.0 Phenomenon Studies with Scientometric Analysis Method

Abstract

As a result of the intense penetration of globalization into societies, the necessity of integrating technology with society has emerged. In this context, an increase in the tendency of researchers towards the phenomenon of Society 5.0 has been observed. Since the subject is current and affects future social sustainability, it has become important to examine the literature from a holistic perspective. The study aims to examine the studies on the phenomenon of Society 5.0 in the literature from a systematic and holistic perspective and to ensure that the study is a source for future research. Using the Scopus database, qualitative interpretations are made within the scope of a total of 151 bibliographic quantitative data. The fact that Scientometrics studies and CiteSpace analysis have never been done in the literature on this phenomenon has increased the originality of the study. Analysis of countries, intellectual analysis, keywords; burst point and cluster analyzes has been performed. As a result of the findings, an increase in the research tendency, an increase in the production and collaboration networks of the countries, and an increase in the diversity of keywords (especially sustainable society) have been observed as the trend towards the subject increased. Moreover, it will be important for social sustainability to increase the study orientation for future studies in areas that are lacking (sociology, psychology, gerontology, etc. social sciences).
