Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health
  • Therapeutic Recreation

Background:

  • Urbanization and loss of natural spaces negatively impact public health and well-being.
  • Nature-based therapies offer a promising approach to mitigate these negative effects.
  • Existing research indicates benefits for mental and physical health across diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on nature-based therapies.
  • To identify trends, key journals, prolific authors, and leading countries in the field.
  • To map the scientific landscape of nature-based therapy research.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (2006-2021).
  • Application of bibliometric laws (e.g., Bradford's, Lotka's) and visualization using VOSviewer.
  • Analysis of publication trends, journal productivity, author citations, and geographical distribution.

Main Results:

  • Annual publications on nature-based therapies exhibited exponential growth (R² = 91%) from 2006 to 2021.
  • The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Urban Forestry & Urban Greening were the most productive journals.
  • The USA and South Korea led in scientific output, with authors Ikei, Miyazaki, and Song being highly cited.

Conclusions:

  • There is a rapidly growing research interest in nature-based therapies, including adventure, nature, and forest therapies.
  • These therapies demonstrate positive effects on mental, physical, and emotional health.
  • Further research with varied designs and populations is needed to solidify findings.
