A Systematic Review on the Design of Sustainable Education Spaces
Abstract
This study critically examines the literature on sustainable education spaces via bibliometric analysis. The context is a compilation of the Web of Science (WoS) database publications. Analyses include the distribution of the publications by years; countries with high broadcasting rates, journals, and universities; authors and high rates of cited publications; distribution of publications by WoS categories; research areas, and keywords. The conduction of analyses was via VoSviewer and Carrot2 applications. The results show that the studies in this area increased significantly after 2017. Most studies were from China and America, and most were in the “green sustainable science technologies” field. Studies in the fields of architecture and education emerged less during the examinations. Later, there is an investigation of the relationship between the concepts of sustainability, education, and architecture. Consequently, there is a gap in studies in which education, architecture, and sustainability disciplines are together. More studies must be conducted to fill the gap. This study can help develop future studies in the design of sustainable education environments.
