ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate the research trends of disaster in Korea through a bibliometric analysis. To do that, it analyzed 772 scholarly articles published from 2002 to 2016, retrieved from KCI (Korean Citation Index) database. For analysis, discipline profiling analysis, journal profiling analysis, and co-word analysis methods were used. The study found that the number of scholarly articles on disaster has increased, especially after Sewol ferry disaster occurred in 2004. The major discipline areas were identified as ‘policy sciences/public administration’ area, ‘engineering’ area, ‘GIS/telecommunication’ area, and ‘medical/humanities/social sciences’ area. In terms of time series, the proportion of scholarly articles published in ‘policy sciences/public administration’ area has decreased since 2014 and at the same time, discipline areas have been diversified including law, medical, and journalism.
