Sustainable interior design/architecture researches after sustainable development goals: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

The Global Goals for Sustainable Development, signed by 170 nations, including Turkey, under UN leadership to address climate change and poverty, have 17 goals to be met by 2030. This study aims to evaluate the studies in the field of sustainable interior architecture/ design produced until the end of 2023, taking as reference the date (2015) when these goals came into force. Bibliometric analysis used within the scope of the research. It provides quantitative evaluation of publications through descriptive, conceptual and citation analysis. Research and review articles from the scientifically approved Web of Science were used in the study. After entering keywords, 8,354 publications were limited to 2,026 articles with PRISMA protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed. There are sixteen periodicals that are considered primary sources on environmentally friendly interior design/ architecture. The field’s core subjects are model development and life cycle evaluation, while mechanical properties and durability are emerging. The original value of the study is related to the subject it deals with and its scope. Bibliometric studies related to sustainable interior/architecture are rare in the literature. There is no study examining the effects of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development, which is the subject of the study.
