Bibliometric Analysis of Historical Block Renewal Research at Home and Abroad based on the Scientific Knowledge Map

Abstract

The renewal of historical blocks plays an extremely important role in the process of urbanization. However, there are few studies focus on the time distribution of the relevant literature corresponding to the renewal of historical blocks and cannot provide a more cutting-edge opinion conclusion. Therefore, this study aims to explore the law of time distribution in the literature study the renewal of historical blocks. This paper uses the scientific knowledge mapping software CiteSpace to systematically visualize the scientific literature in the field of historical block renewal and its many related fields. To start with, the bibliometric analysis of historical block renewal is carried out. This paper makes a bibliometric analysis of the time distribution, keyword distribution, literature release time, mutation keywords, author density, author network, and other data. This paper finds that the literature in the field of historical district renewal in CSSCI and Peking University core journals has been studied more rapidly in the past decade than in previous years. The increase in the number of papers has increased sharply, and the research hotspots have focused on organic renewal and functional replacement. Among them, micro-renewal, place spirit, and industrial sites are the most concerned frontiers. Based on the above results, this paper summarizes the development trend of the main cutting-edge technologies of the renewal of historical blocks and puts forward relevant suggestions for the development of the renewal field of historical blocks in China.
