Abstract
Studies on green open space and ecological wisdom have developed over time and are linked to various subjects and impacts. However, both research subjects have developed somewhat independently despite their approaches often achieving a sustainable landscape. This paper proposed a bibliometric analysis of green open space and ecological wisdom research to identify the trends and hot topics on both aspects, then determine a potential topic for future research relating to both subject areas. We collected English research papers from the last decades from the Scopus database using appropriate keywords and analyzed the metadata using VOSviewer program. Then, the text data were extracted from the title and abstract of the document collections using VOSviewer built-in text mining function. The hot topic term was analyzed by calculating the score of the average citation based on their occurrences. Finally, potential research in green open space and ecological wisdom field was determined by overlaying the findings and catching the slice. A total of 283 document collections were analyzed and 75 most relevant terms were found. All the terms were divided into four clusters as a research field: urban green space cluster, environmental quality cluster, sustainable planning cluster, and landscape development cluster. Further, the hot topic analysis found ten keywords that had a high citation impact in document collection and mostly came from a sustainable planning cluster. After overlaying the findings, six terms emerged that have a high potential for future research because of their high citation impact for science.
Highlights
The need for green open spaces has increased along with an increase in knowledge about its benefits and roles for life quality, especially in urban areas where green open space is essential for increasing biodiversity, such as through the remnant habitats
Regarding the methodology previously described, 283 research articles related to green open space and ecological wisdom research from 2009 to 2019 were found. 215 documents were related to the green open space field, while 68 documents were related to the ecological wisdom field
It is seen that the green open space topic was discussed more extensively as compared to the ecological wisdom field
Summary
The need for green open spaces has increased along with an increase in knowledge about its benefits and roles for life quality, especially in urban areas where green open space is essential for increasing biodiversity, such as through the remnant habitats. There is an ecological wisdom concept that has emerged since 1980s, and was declared as a new concept of landscape development in 2014. It is defined as good property design that require minimal intervention ecologically and socially [4]. This idea originated from the concept of returning to the local culture, which has been proven over the years to integrate human behaviors and nature to produce a sustainable landscape. The ecological wisdom concept emphasizes on ideas, principles, and strategies that have historically been proven, to the location and context, and leads to the creation of long-term sustainability
