Abstract

This article describes the bibliometric nature of land use alteration with a particular focus on spatial dynamics. Through the use of Scopus^ metadata and advanced visualizations, the research explores the increasing popularity of publications about land use change, it focuses on topics like the influence of population growth on land use patterns, the dynamics of urban development, and the utilization of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) for analyzing land use changes. The investigation also illuminates the collaborative landscape in the study of land use changes, it demonstrates a predominate pattern of collaboration between authors from developed countries and highlights the potential for increased interaction with scholars from developing countries. Additionally, the research identifies a concentration of investigations in areas like China, Indonesia, the U.S., and some European countries, this suggests that there are potential gaps in the distribution of research that need to be further explored. Additionally, the article highlights the value of ongoing research in areas like regional and city planning, urbanization dynamics, and population trends regarding land use alteration. Through the analysis of influential writers, the study identifies the core journals, and the most popular keywords, the study provides important information about the evolution of land use change research and its significance to environmental sustainability.
