Bibliometric and scientometric review of architectural flood resilience for housing

Abstract

The desire for sustainable architectural flood resilience for housing that will lower the number of defects caused by floods prompted an investigation into the stakeholders in the domain. In recent years, the threat of flooding has pulled the attention of both researchers and practitioners. The purpose of the study is: to determine the most important authors, collaboration connections, and countries in academic works in this field, to identify the present mainstream research, and to suggest future research directions. The research's scope reveals a tendency that goes from small to huge, or from the level of individuals and friends to businesses and organisations, then to the level of countries. A systematic literature review (SLR) was done. From Scopus, 155 related bibliographic records were retrieved. Through exclusion and inclusion criteria, bibliometric analysis has been performed, and scientometric analysis has also been applied to strengthen the SLR findings using science mapping visualisation tools. The study provides an easily accessible point of reference for practitioners, policymakers, and research and development (R&D) bodies in the realm of practices. The most important authors, collaboration connections, and countries around the world are known as a result of the study. The study increases public awareness of the present trend in the domain and creates room for future research in less explored areas. The data reported in this review are primarily drawn from developed countries because there is a dearth of research on the field in Africa and other developing countries.
