Abstract:

Monitoring and managing protected areas is greatly aided by advancements in science and technology, as well as the creation of sensors and remote sensing platforms. This study examines research articles from a bibliometric standpoint regarding the distantdetecting protected zones. The years 1991–2018 are the main focus of this analysis. The Web of Science database yielded a total of 4546 scholarly publications for use as data. Co-authorships between nations and institutions, as well as the co-occurrences of author keywords, were assessed using the VOSviewer software. The findings show that the number of yearly publications on remote sensing of protected areas is on the rise.This study identifies the primary theme areas, top nations, and most significant academic institutions worldwide that have produced pertinent research in scientific publications; it also identifies the journals with the greatest number of publications, and the cooperative trends pertaining to protected area remote sensing. Among the most widely used satellites and sensors are Landsat, MODIS, and LiDAR. The primary focus of protected area monitoring research is on change detection, biodiversity protection, and the effects of climate change. Researchers and academics can find future study directions and gain a deeper understanding of the field’s intellectual structure with the aid of this analysis.
