Tren Penelitian Biofilik: Sebuah Tinjauan Literatur dengan Analisis Bibliometrik

Abstract

Biophilic design is an approach that integrates natural elements into the built environment. This concept originates from the biophilia hypothesis, which states that humans have an innate tendency to affiliate with nature. In the process, biophilic research extends to design, health, psychology, and technology areas. This research aims to explore the development and trends of biophilic research, identify relationships between scientific concepts, and reveal interdisciplinary networks based on keywords, co-authorship, and citations. It’s a literature review using bibliometric analysis methods. Digital data collection was obtained through Google Scholar from 2004 to 2024 using keywords 'biophilic,' 'biophilic design,' 'nature connection,' and 'biophilia hypothesis.' Meta-data collection was done using Publish or Perish. Subsequently, VOSviewer was used as a tool for bibliometric analysis to display scientific mapping, while Lens.org was used for performance analysis. It results indicate that in the last 20 years, publications on biophilic research have increased, with a surge in the last 5 years. Mapping based on authors indicates that Newman, Lalonde, and Hébert are highly productive in publishing scholar work, but author collaboration analysis leans towards relationships among researchers centered on Kellert, Salingaros, and Barbiero. Meanwhile, mapping based on keywords indicates the existence of connections between psychological, environmental, architectural, and ecological scientific concepts with 6 dominant clusters: design strategy,' ‘urbanism,' 'framework,' 'wellness and mental health,' 'healing,' and 'biophilic element.' Based on this analysis, there are significant opportunities for further biophilic research in the fields of architecture and psychology, focusing on the design of built environments that incorporate natural elements.
