Mapping the knowledge domain of Landscape Architecture research between 1965 and 2018

Abstract

It was intended to analyze how landscape architecture, as a field of science, brings together innovative productions and perspectives to the thought and practice of landscape treatment. Initially used to diagnose and describe the structure of the landscape, currently, it has become a field of research integrated into approaching various environmental and socio-diversity issues. To represent the knowledge structure and evolution of Landscape Architecture, we used CiteSpace and VOSviewer software which pointed to the insurgency of issues related to Ecosystem Services, which arises new debates on landscape planning and management.
