Bibliometric Studies and Global Slum Settlements Research Potential During 2013-2022

Abstract

This study aims to overview the global slum settlements research potential through bibliometric analysis. The data source was taken from the Scopus database during 2013-2022, using the keywords slum and settlements, which resulted in 958 English journal articles. The dataset is imported into Mendeley software as a RIS file (*.ris) for further analysis and visualization using VOSviewer 1.6.15. The research findings in the bibliometric analysis are 8 clusters in the study of slums. Fields of study that are still relatively underdeveloped, such as adaptive capacity, vulnerability, risk factors, slum settlements, informal urban settlements, tenure security, urban renewal, property rights, politics, community, global health, environmental health, social determinants of health, urban health and quality of life. Therefore, future researchers need to expand their research in this field.
