Abstract :This study aims to systematically examine the scientific literature on the reuse of solid waste in landscape architecture using the bibliometric method. In the face of problems such as global resource depletion, environmental pollution, and climate change, the integration of waste into sustainable design processes is becoming increasingly important. The discipline of landscape architecture has the potential to offer nature-based solutions by evaluating waste in functional, aesthetic, and environmental terms. Within the scope of the study, publications between 1995-2025 were obtained from the Web of Science database and analyzed with the Biblioshiny tool running in the R Studio environment. Creating keyword matches, conceptual clusters, and international collaboration maps determined trends in the literature, prominent institutions, and thematic densities. The findings reveal that publications on green infrastructure, ecosystem services, and climate change-compatible urban design have increased significantly since 2017. It is seen that institutions based in the USA, China, and South Korea stand out in terms of publications and collaborations. The prominent studies show that interdisciplinary sustainability approaches are gaining strength. The study maps the academic structure in the field, reveals current research gaps, and offers suggestions to increase Turkey\\\'s international visibility in this field. Future research should focus on experimental applications, cost-effectiveness analyses, and policy integration.
