Abstract: Walkability is a concept that enhances urban quality by promoting pedestrian-friendly environments and providing individuals with better living spaces.

This study aims to identify how the concept of walkability, examined through various bibliometric analyses on an international scale, is addressed at a national level. The bibliometric analysis method was chosen to quantitatively examine theses focused on the concept of walkability and to provide an overall view of the research topic. To this end, theses available in the National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) were searched using the keywords
