Healthy Living and Design Research Hot Spots and Trend Analysis

Abstract

Introduction

This study systematically examines research trends in the intersection of healthy living and design from 2014 to 2024, focusing on key themes and developments.

Method

A detailed analysis was conducted on the research trends at the intersection of healthy living and design over a decade. Using the WOS database, relevant literature was selected and visualized using CiteSpace. Research methods include keyword co-occurrence to identify core themes of healthy living, central analysis to assess the impact of specific studies, analysis of international research networks to understand global research partnerships, and checking highly cited literature to determine the greatest contribution to healthy living and design.

Results

The analysis shows that "sports activities," "design," and "health" are core themes in the fields of healthy living and design, widely discussed in both academia and practice and widely recognized for their importance. Furthermore, as people's demands for quality of life rise, emerging topics such as "green spaces" and "urban environments" are gaining increasing attention and importance, reflecting a pursuit of sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyles. In the field of international research, the United States, China, and the United Kingdom have made particularly significant contributions to healthy living and design, showcasing their research capabilities and the increasing frequency and activity of international cooperation in this area.

Discussion

The study highlights the evolving focus within healthy living and design research, reflecting a growing interest in environmental and urban factors. The identified key countries and their collaborative efforts underscore the global nature of this research area.
