Bibliometric Evaluation of Academic Studies on Water Management in Xeriscape Landscape Applications: Analysis with R Studio-Biblioshiny Software

This research evaluates scientific productivity and academic collaborations by examining the academic literature on water management in xeriscape landscape applications using bibliometric analysis. Within the scope of the study, academic publications between 1980 and 2025 were obtained from the Scopus database and analyzed with R Studio-Biblioshiny software. Findings show that themes such as water management, climate change, sustainability, and nature-based solutions are prominent in the literature. Additionally, international collaborations and interdisciplinary studies have increased. The study reveals that water-saving and technological approaches are becoming increasingly important in xeriscape landscapes. The data obtained show that future research should use more data sources, deepen content analyses, and increase research on innovative water management strategies. This study is expected to significantly contribute to the academic literature regarding landscape architecture and water management policies.
