Gender diversity and equality have a significant influence on policymaking regarding sustainable development, environmental issues, and urbanism. This study examines the general bibliometric outlook and research patterns of publications on gender equality, urbanism, and sustainability to provide a general perspective on the relevant literature and trends for institutions and scholars who wish to conduct research within the framework of gender, sustainability, and urbanism. The findings of this study show that there are a limited number of studies dealing with gender equality, sustainability, and urbanism. The study analyzed 308 papers in total, utilizing data mining and analytics techniques such as t-SNE and SNA for a systematic review process. The study utilized the PRISMA protocol as the research method. The results showed that research on the frame of gender, sustainability, and urbanism peaked in 2021, and the top countries for studying gender, sustainability, and urbanism are the USA, the UK, Spain, and China. The research fields that contributed the most were those dealing with environmental studies and green and sustainable technologies, followed by those dealing with business and women’s studies. The following three thematically inclined clusters were revealed by the t-SNE analysis: (1) Gender Diversity, Corporate Sustainability, and Board Governance; (2) Gender, Environmental Sustainability, Sustainable Development, and Policy Agenda; and (3) Gender, Sustainable Urbanism, and Community Development. The findings of the study revealed that fostering gender equality with policies such as gender mainstreaming, as in SDG 5 and SDG 11, and gender equality strategies of the EU or UN will help to overcome discrimination against women in the urban space and empower sustainable development.

Turizm, dünyanın en büyük ve en hızlı büyüyen sektörlerinden biri olup istihdam, büyüme, kalkınma, çevre ve kültürün korunması üzerinde belirleyici bir rol üstlenmektedir. Emek yoğun bir sektör olan turizm, diğer sektörlere göre nitelikli olmayan işgücünün çalışmasına fırsat veriyor olması nedeniyle de birçok kuruluş tarafından kadın erkek eşitsizliğini azaltmada önemli bir bileşen olarak görülmektedir. Nitekim Birleşmiş Miller Dünya Turizm Örgütü (United Nations World Tourism Organization-UNWTO) 2019 yılı verilerine göre küresel ölçekte turizm sektöründe kadın istihdamı %54 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı dünyada en çok turist kabul eden sekiz ülkede küresel cinsiyet endeksi ile konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektöründe istihdam, eğitim ve kişi başı gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla (GSYH) arasındaki ilişkiyi panel veri analiz yöntemi kullanarak incelemektir. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı seçilmiş ülkelerde, konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektörü istihdamını ve eğitimi hem ülkeler hem de cinsiyete göre karşılaştırmaktır. Rassal (tesadüfi) etkiler modeli kullanılan analiz sonucunda cinsiyet eşitsizliği ile istihdam, eğitim ve kişi başı GSYH arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet eşitsizliği üzerinde en fazla etki gösteren değişken kişi başı GSYH’dır. Konaklama ve yiyecek-içecek sektöründe istihdam, eğitim ve küresel cinsiyet farkına göre karşılaştırılan ülkeler içerisinde Türkiye en son sırada yer almaktadır.

Dünya genelinde tek ebeveynli ailelerin sayısında artış yaşanmaktadır. Türkiye’de tek ebeveynli hanelere ilişkin geniş bir literatür olmasına karşın, konuya ilişkin genel eğilimi, konunun nasıl ele alındığını, hangi konulara ağırlık verilip hangi alanların ihmal edildiğini görebilmemizi sağlayan bir sistematik derleme araştırması bulunmamaktadır. YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nde yer alan konuya ilişkin 97 tezin sistematik olarak derlenmesi ve betimsel içerik analizine tabi tutulması ile gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, en çok tezin 2024 yılında üretildiği, yüksek lisans derecesinde üretilen tezlerin doktora derecesinden fazla olduğu, eğitim bilimleri ve sosyal hizmet anabilim dallarının ön plana çıktığı, hem ebeveynleri hem de çocukları odağa alan çalışmaların var olduğu ve bekar kadın ebeveyne odaklanılarak bekar babanın ihmal edildiği tespit edilmiştir.

Aim: Examining individuals' preferences regarding transportation activities, which are part of their daily lives, from a gender perspective and investigating the role of fear of crime in determining these preferences is important for ensuring that women experience urban life safely as equal individuals alongside men. There are limited studies in the current literature that evaluate the general outlook of the relevant field from a holistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze research on gender, fear of crime, and transportation in terms of bibliometric indicators. Method: A bibliometric analysis was employed in this study. On 1 February 2025, searches were conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases using predefined keywords related to gender, fear of crime, and transport. Thirty-six articles published between 1995 and 2024 constitute the dataset for this study. The dataset was analyzed using Biblioshiny, a web interface for the R program.Results: Firstly, this study describes the general profile of publications related to gender, fear of crime, and transport. Subsequently, based on the research questions, the relationships between sources, authors, and keywords; the prominent journals and authors; the most cited publications; the country-based distribution; the frequently used keywords; and the development over time were identified.Conclusion: The annual growth rate of publications was 7.43%, the total number of authors working on this topic was 81, and the average citation per article was 31.44. Furthermore, interest in the subject has increased recently. The country with the most publications in the field examined is the United States. The most prolific authors on the subject were Ceccato and Sundling. The most frequently used word in the articles examined (excluding search keywords) was “public transport.”Originality: In the current literature, there are limited comprehensive studies that evaluate the overall picture of the relevant field from a holistic perspective. Therefore, it is expected that this study, which examines academic outputs in the relevant field within a systematic and measurable framework, will guide researchers who wish to understand and investigate the relationship between gender and transportation activities in the context of fear of crime.

The aim of the study is to analyse the literature on international trade and women’s entrepreneurship using the bibliometric method. A total of 45 English articles published in journals indexed in SSCI-Expanded, SSCI, and ESCI in the Web of Science database for the period 2007-2024 were analysed. The analysis, conducted using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R software, focuses on authors, journals, countries, and keywords. Results show the peak number of publications in 2023, with nearly half classified under “business”. Since 2013, “gender” has been the most frequently used keyword, while “export performance” emerged in 2023 and continued into 2024. The United Kingdom has the most scientific collaborations, while Alex Coad and Jaganaddha Pawan Tamvada are the most cited authors. The “International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship” and “Sustainability” are the top journals for publishing related research. Mansura Akter and Mahfuzur Rahman are identified as the most relevant and effective authors, and England is the most cited country. This bibliometric assessment aids researchers and policymakers in making informed decisions regarding international trade and women’s entrepreneurship, contributing to a deeper understanding of trends and influential factors within this research area. Integrating more women into the entrepreneurial ecosystem via international trade serves as a catalyst for advancing women's economic empowerment.
