Geobibliography and Bibliometric Networks of Polar Tourism and Climate Change Research

“…Fifteen of these additional articles [19][20][21][22][23][26][27][28][29][33][34][35][36][37]39] were already covered by either the SROCC [4] or the Stewart et al review [14]. The rest [18,24,25,[30][31][32]38,40] was familiar to the authors but were not captured by the queries for several reasons such as missing databases, journal language, and spatial scope, i.e., not described as polar but northern.…”

“…The 84 keywords that were used at least three times in the 93 articles agglomerate into six clusters according to their distances to each other (Figure 3a), yielding 1259 links. The largest cluster with 20 items (red) stems from a wider theme on climate change adaptation of Arctic tourism from all the policy [53,56], community [53,56,71,76,77], business [33,39,53,56,80,101,106], and visitor [38,56] perspectives. Cluster 2 (n: 16, green) covers mostly combined impacts of climate change and polar tourism, with a spatial focus on the Antarctic [41,92,96,109].…”

“…This might be due to the multi-scenario approach of these studies, where tourism is only one component analyzed without much reference to climate change. That being said, many of the newer co-authors [39,41,47,48,79,90,101,102] also seem isolated from the main sets, while some others [33,41,56,67,79] have formed their connections with the well-linked pioneers.…”

“…The studies are also classified according to the tourism type examined-again, studies on different tourism types were repeatedly pinned with respective icons. From a macroregional perspective, 73 of the 93 studies focus on the Arctic [19,[21][22][23][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][43][44][45][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][76][77]…”

“…Last but not least, thematic categorization of the geobibliography presents some important findings regarding research foci and gaps. Numbers of the single studies that belong to the research themes of impacts, adaptation, emissions, mitigation, and rebound effects and combined impacts are 28 [18,20,21,25,27,33,36,47,48,52,55,57,58,62,63,65,66,68,72,73,87,88,91,95,101,105,108,110], 40 [19,22,23,26,[28][29][30][33][34][35][37][38][39]43,44,49,50,53,56,71,74,…”
