A bibliometric review of urban sprawl and urban green spaces research, 1996–2024
Urban sprawl and urban green spaces (UGSs) literature has evolved from urban growth and landscape planning to urban ecology and ecosystem services with a paradigm shift towards socio-ecological modeling. While research in urban sprawl and UGSs has increased over the years, there is limited studies integrating the interaction of urban sprawl and UGS domains. To fill this gap, we investigate the relationship between urban sprawl and UGSs research, aiming to understand their evolution, trends and set the agenda for future research in urban sustainability studies. We conducted a bibliometric review of 314 documents indexed in Scopus on urban sprawl and UGSs from 1996 to 2024. Findings show that research in urban sprawl and UGSs has evolved through six stages including urban growth and landscape planning; land use and geospatial technology; urban policy and social planning; urbanization; urban sprawl; and urban ecosystem. This shift is occasioned by the advancement in remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS), and lately artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This has led to automation and accurate modeling of complex urban datasets. Projections of future research direction in urban sprawl and UGSs literature tilts towards ecosystem services, urban heat islands, urban cooling, climate change, and urban resilience and sustainability from multidisciplinary perspectives.
期刊介绍:
Urban Forestry and Urban Greening is a refereed, international journal aimed at presenting high-quality research with urban and peri-urban woody and non-woody vegetation and its use, planning, design, establishment and management as its main topics. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening concentrates on all tree-dominated (as joint together in the urban forest) as well as other green resources in and around urban areas, such as woodlands, public and private urban parks and gardens, urban nature areas, street tree and square plantations, botanical gardens and cemeteries.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research papers, as well as review papers and short communications. Contributions should focus on one or more of the following aspects:
-Form and functions of urban forests and other vegetation, including aspects of urban ecology.
-Policy-making, planning and design related to urban forests and other vegetation.
-Selection and establishment of tree resources and other vegetation for urban environments.
-Management of urban forests and other vegetation.
Original contributions of a high academic standard are invited from a wide range of disciplines and fields, including forestry, biology, horticulture, arboriculture, landscape ecology, pathology, soil science, hydrology, landscape architecture, landscape planning, urban planning and design, economics, sociology, environmental psychology, public health, and education.
