Abstract: The goal of this research is to examine the scientific mapping in disaster literacy research with bibliometric

analysis. The method of this research is a bibliometric analysis. Based on the analysis carried out on the theme

of disaster literacy from 2014 to 2024, there are 50 documents with the country with the largest number of

publications is Indonesia. The author who published the most on disaster literacy is D. Zhang Meanwhile, the

most dominant keywords are disasters, followed by disaster literacy, earthquake, and literacy. For prediction

in the future, research should be carried out related to disaster literacy for students.

1 INTRODUCTION

Natural disasters are a global phenomenon that

impacts various aspects of human life, including

health, the economy, and social stability (Akbar et al.,

2024; Aprilyanto et al., 2023; Pratama et al., 2024;

Rahmat, Ramadhani, et al., 2020; Rahmat, Sari, et al.,

2020). Over the past decades, the frequency and

intensity of natural disasters such as earthquakes,

tsunamis, floods, wildfires, and storms have been

increasing due to climate change and uncontrolled

urbanization. These impacts underscore the

importance of enhancing disaster literacy as part of a

global strategy to build more resilient and prepared

societies. Disaster literacy has become a key focus in

international research, both in academic and practical

contexts (Ashgaf et al., 2024; Asshiddiqi et al., 2023;

Khairunnisa et al., 2021; Rahmat & Pernanda, 2021).

Disaster literacy involves individuals’ and

communities’ understanding of disaster risks, their

ability to mitigate impacts, and their readiness to

respond to emergencies (Asshiddiqi et al., 2023;

Maghfirah & Mutia, 2023). Worldwide, the level of

disaster literacy varies significantly depending on

social, economic, educational, and governmental

factors. Countries with higher levels of disaster

literacy tend to be more successful in reducing the

impacts of disasters compared to those without

adequate disaster literacy strategies (Ahmed et al.,

2023; Shalahuddin et al., 2022; Utama et al., 2020).

Globally, research on disaster literacy

encompasses various topics, such as the role of formal

education in raising risk awareness, the effectiveness

of public awareness campaigns, the use of digital

technologies for disaster mitigation, and community-

based approaches to preparedness (Asshiddiqi et al.,

2023). This research often involves interdisciplinary

collaboration across social sciences, engineering,

education, and public policy. However, systematic

mapping of global research trends in disaster literacy

remains limited.

A bibliometric approach offers an effective method

for analyzing and mapping research trends in the field

of disaster literacy worldwide. Using data from

scientific databases such as Scopus or Web of Science,

bibliometric analysis can identify key topics,

publication trends, researcher collaborations, and the

contributions of specific institutions or countries to the

body of disaster literacy literature (Ellegaard & Wallin,

2015; Fiandini et al., 2024). Furthermore, this method

can help identify research gaps and opportunities for

cross-national or regional collaborations.

One of the commonly used tools for bibliometric

analysis is Biblioshiny, a web-based application from

the R Bibliometrix package. With Biblioshiny,

bibliometric data can be visualized as network

graphs, keyword analyses, or geographic distribution

maps of publications. This enables researchers to

understand the development of disaster literacy from

various perspectives, both academic and practical,

intuitively and interactively.

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis

of the global disaster literacy literature. The research

focuses on identifying the most widely discussed

topics, the countries or institutions that are most

active, and the authors and journals that are influential

in this field. By doing so, this study seeks to provide

a comprehensive overview of how disaster literacy

has evolved as an essential area of study to address

global challenges.

2 METHOD

This research used a bibliometric approach.

Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative method for

analyzing bibliographic data contained in scientific

publications, such as scientific journals, scientific

proceedings, or scientific periodicals. (Araújo-Vila et

al., 2023; Fiandini et al., 2024; Harahap et al., 2021;

Hasan & Moorthy, 2016; Hudha et al., 2020; Rahmat

et al., 2021, 2023). This research uses bibliometric

analysis using the Scopus database. On November 1

2024, research conducted keywords related to

education for sustainable development. Figure 1

illustrates the flow of this research. Initially, we

identified the topic for this research as education for

sustainable development. Next, we filter the results

by restricting the publication period from 2014 to

2024. In the third stage, the Biblioshiny application is

used to analyze creating a visualization of publication

data. In the last stage, the result derived from the third

stage discusses the findings.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Publication Output and Source

Document

Figure 2 shows the trend of publication on disaster

literacy from 2014 to 2024. During this period, the

number of publications experienced an annual

decreased but overall increased.

3.2 Key Author of Disaster Literacy

From 2014 until 2024, the authors who published the

most on disaster literacy are D. Zhang, with 5

documents, followed by E. Maryani and L. Y. Zhang,

with 3 documents. This can be seen in Figure 3 and

the network collaboration in Figure 4.

3.3 Thematic Area-Related Disaster

Literacy Using Biblioshiny

Bibliometric studies are carried out the present results

based on frequently occurring terms (Alvarez et al.,

2022; Araújo-Vila et al., 2023). In this research, it

starts from 2014 until 2024. The term that appears can

be seen in the visualization can be seen in Figure 5.

3.4 Future Research for Disaster

Literacy

Figure 6 illustrates the keywords’ density. According

to the figure, the most dominant keywords are

disasters, followed by disaster literacy, earthquake,

and literacy.

Figure 7 represents the focus of the previous main

research. The thematic maps of this research can be

seen in Figure 7.

Based on the analysis carried out on the theme of

disaster literacy from 2014 to 2024, there are 50

documents with the country with the largest number

of publications is Indonesia. The author who

published the most on disaster literacy is D. Zhang

Meanwhile, the most dominant keywords are
