以書目計量及其可視化分析藍色經濟近年研究發展趨勢

Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of the Development of the Blue Economy Literature

人類對來自海洋的食物、能源、交通、娛樂和其他服務的需求正在迅速增加，以海洋永續為出發的藍色經濟發展已成為世界各國重視的發展方向並快速增長。雖然海洋資源促進了增長和財富，但也受到人為、氣候變遷等許多因素面臨許多挑戰。人類對海洋仍有許多未知領域需要探索，知識的生產傳播是藍色經濟研究發展必要的核心基礎。本研究以藍色經濟為研究主題進行書目計量分析，以理解目前國際上研發成果的知識累積以及網路分布。本研究利用Web of Science資料庫檢索2012至2021年10年期間之藍色經濟文獻特性。結果顯示，本研究發現藍色經濟在2017年後，逐漸成為歐美國家研究的重要領域，在相關研究發表量上有顯著的提升。在學科分布上，藍色經濟的相關領域相當多元，包括環境科學、環境研究、海洋與淡水生物學、國際關係、綠色永續科技、以及地理、生物、物理、工程等領域。本研究透過關鍵字分析發現藍色經濟與管理、漁業、水產養殖、以及永續等五個關鍵字的研究產出最多。本研究結果能對我國藍色經濟產業研發應投入方向有所啟發，亦探究國際上的科研發展，以順應國際趨勢作為我國推動藍色經濟研究與產業發展的需要，據以提供決策參考依據。

Human demand for food, energy, transportation, recreation, and other services from the ocean is increasing rapidly, and the blue economy is growing at an unprecedented rate. Marine resources have contributed to growth and wealth, but they are threatened by several factors, including anthropogenic and climate change factors. Knowledge production and dissemination are essential for the advancement of research on the blue economy research. Focusing on the blue economy as the research theme, we performed a bibliometric analysis to understand the current accumulation of knowledge and the distribution of research and development results. We used the Web of Science database to search for studies for the period from 2012 to 2021. The results revealed that the blue economy has gradually become a key research field in European and American countries since 2017 and that the number of relevant publications has increased significantly during this period. Fields related to the blue economy are diverse, including environmental science, environmental studies, marine and freshwater biology, international relations, green and sustainable technology, geography, biology, physics, and engineering. The five most common keywords in the field are as follows: blue economy, management, fisheries, aquaculture, and sustainability. The future sustainable development of the blue economy will depend on governance, ecological, economic, policy, and technological factors. Our findings can inform the direction of investment in research on and the development of the blue economy. Our findings also contribute to the international promotion of blue economy research and industry development and provide a reference for decision-makers in Taiwan.
