Abstract:
This literature review focuses on land quality evaluation (LQE) and its effects on sustainable development through quantitative analysis and value-added information. In contrast to the traditional perspective, a structured review based on bibliometric indicators and social network analysis allows identifying hidden evidence for answering the following research questions: (i) What: What is the application of LQE? (ii) Which: Which sustainable development goals does the application contribute to? (iii) Why and how: What are the main applications and methods of each topic? (iv) Where: Where is the hotspot of the problem? What is the future research orientation of the topic? (v) How and when: How has the topic grown since 2000? Data investigation explores 4029 articles in 2000-2019 from four publishers. With the support of VOSviewer software, six clusters corresponding to six main applications of LQE are classified. Overlapping keywords in several clusters are resolved by the binary term frequency counter for the cluster preference determination. After conducting the data verification and editing process, a structured review is performed again with systematic research questions. This research offers a synthesis of traditional and novel quantitative analysis for literature review, which is comprehensive, accurate, and reliable.
