Spatial Legibility: A Bibliometric and Visualization Analyses Using Vosviewer Software (1975-2023)

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Spatial legibility has been associated in the literature as being comprehensible of the space, easy wayfinding in the space, and being able to draw a cognitive map of the space. This study aims to analyze the scope of spatial legibility research using bibliometric analysis and visualization using VOSviewer. The Web of Science database was utilized to gather information on spatial legibility studies. Title, keywords, and abstract requirements were used to construct the search results, which were based on topic categories from spatial legibility research. The Web of Science database research keywords (TS= ("spatial legibility")) OR TS= ("architectural legibility")) OR TS= ("urban legibility")) OR TS= ("legible cities")) OR TS= ("legible city"). It has been determined that the most used words by the authors in their publications are space syntax, legibility, intelligibility, cognitive map, image, landmark, spatial legibility, urban design, way finding, navigation, virtual environment, and perception. To sum up, this article will give an idea to researchers who will research spatial legibility.
