Visualization Analysis of Research Hotspots and Trends in Space Syntax Based on CiteSpace
Space syntax,serving as a theoretical and methodological tool to analyze and interpret the layout of ur-ban and architectural spaces and their impacts on human behavior and social dynamics,has garnered widespread attention from both international and domestic academic communities.This study,based on the Chinese core(CNKI)and English core(WoS)databases,covers relevant core literature from 2003 to 2023.It utilizes CiteSpace software for keyword analysis and knowledge mapping.The results reveal:① Space syntax,as a research field,has seen increasing attention at both international and domestic levels.② The Chinese and English databases both display similarities and unique developmental paths and research emphases in space syntax studies.③ There are significant differences in the future development directions of space syntax research between domestic and inter-national spheres,offering opportunities for mutual learning and collaboration to drive innovation in the field.Fu-ture research directions include:① further deepening the comparative studies between Chinese and English data-bases;② enhancing research cooperation between international and domestic scholars,sharing data and outcomes,while respecting each's research characteristics and methodologies.Overall,this paper provides valuable references and insights for the further expansion of space syntax research.
