A Review of Human Settlement Research on Climate Change Response under Carbon-Oriented: Literature Characteristics, Progress and Trends

Abstract

Climate issues have affected the sustainable development of global human settlements, and carbon, an essential factor affecting climate change, has become a hotspot of academic concern. This paper analyzes the research characteristics, stages and planning of carbon-oriented climate change response research in human settlements based on the literature related to research on carbon-oriented human settlements for climate change, hereinafter referred to as RCHSCC, included in the Web of Science core database since 1991, using CiteSpace and VOSviewer bibliometric software. Based on the analysis of the literature and discipline distribution, research hotspots and priorities, this paper classifies the RCHSCC into four stages: early exploration, relationship building, integrated development and deepening collaboration. Based on keyword clustering, annual overlap and keyword emergence analysis, this paper predicts that future research will have three major trends regarding climate risk management, carbon technology enhancement and urban safety and resilience research. The study aims to analyze the distribution characteristics and evolution of research on carbon-oriented human settlements for climate change from 1991 to 2022. The RCHSCC predicts three major trends in the future—climate risk management, carbon technology upgrading and urban security and resilience—and offers three recommendations for governments and planners in terms of climate change adaptation and low-carbon and efficient development in human settlements.

Research on Covid-19 Human Security Disaster Management in Indonesia Using VOSviewer Bibliometrics

“…The bibliometric examination has likewise been utilized in different exploration fields like examination on development (Biemans et al, 2007), research on administration (Zupic & Cˇater, 2015), research on the travel industry (Merig´Hai et al, 2019;Mulet-Forteza et al, 2018;Vishwakarma & Mukherjee, 2019), business research (Valenzuela-Fernandez et al, 2019), and research in geophysics (Mulet-Forteza et al, 2020). While research on human security in the field of ecological security on environmental change influences from carbon use (An et al, 2022), other than that, exploration of human security in the field of food security has been done by Bellia et al (2022) about collaborations between road food and sanitation points in the logical writing a bibliometric examination with science planning. In contrast to Okolie and Ogundeji (2022), who explored the effect of Coronavirus on food security, as of recently, there has been no examination that explicitly talks about the Coronavirus pandemic as a feature of a fiasco that is remembered for the security classification in which there is well-being security which is then examined by VOSviewer bibliometrics.…”

“…The bibliometric examination has likewise been utilized in different exploration fields like examination on development (Biemans, Griffin, and Moenaert, 2007), research on administration (Zupic and Čater, 2014), research on the travel industry (Merigó et al, 2019;Mulet-Forteza et al, 2018;Vishwakarma and Mukherjee, 2019), business research (Valenzuela-Fernandez et al, 2019) and research in geophysics (Mulet-Forteza et al, 2020). While research on human security in the field of ecological security on environmental change influences from carbon use (An, Yao, and Shen, 2022), other than that exploration of human security in the field of food security has been done by (Bellia, Bacarella, and Ingrassia 2022) about collaborations between road food and sanitation points in the logical writing a bibliometric examination with science planning and looks at the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic in terms of narrative issues built through research topics in Scopus indexed articles by Indonesian authors using VOSviewer bibliometric analysis (Syamsurrijal et al, 2021)…”

Study on the Progress in Climate-Change-Oriented Human Settlement Research

“…Since the 20th century, the impact of climate risks on various elements of human settlements, including ecology, settlement forms, and infrastructure, has been steadily increasing [1,2]. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Earth's average temperature has risen by 0.4 to 0.8 • C since the 20th century, accelerating in the last 60 years [3].…”

“…However, few research results have utilised knowledge mapping to analyse the literature on CCHSR. Previous studies have primarily focused on the urban microclimate [17], ecosystem health [18], and carbon-oriented impacts of human settlements [2]. While these reviews have provided valuable insights into the relationship between human settlements and climate change, they have paid little attention to the characteristics and stages of research on climate-change-oriented human settlements.…”

“…Therefore, this study aims to combine knowledge mapping analysis with traditional literature review methods to investigate three main aspects: (1) we collect CCHSR literature and analyse its research status, cooperation networks, research hotspots, and developmental stage features; (2) we analyse the methods and objects of CCHSR, summarise their characteristics, explore their research features and hotspot trends, and visualise them through central keyword frequency and emergent analysis, and (3) we discuss the limitations of CCHSR and identify future key topics related to climate change and human settlements.…”
