Thematic Trend Analysis of Landscape Vitality and Sustainability of Rural Areas: An Approach to Enhancing Quality of Life.

The vitality and sustainability of rural landscapes are fundamental to enhancing the quality of life for residents. This study aimed to analyze thematic trends in rural landscape vitality and sustainability, with a particular focus on quality-oflife improvements, and to trace their evolution over four decades (1980–2025) to inform future research directions. Using a descriptive-analytical and quantitative approach, this applied research developed a targeted search strategy to exclude irrelevant literature, ultimately analyzing 674 indexed publications through scientometric methods. SciMAT software was employed to map thematic networks, revealing key research clusters across four distinct time periods. The internal linkages within these networks highlighted dominant discourses, including communication planning for quality-of-life enhancement, ecosystem services, sustainability, and sustainable development as emerging focal areas. Findings from the fourth and fifth periods indicate a growing prominence of keywords such as geographic information systems (GIS), rural-cultural landscape, sustainable livelihoods, quality of life, public spaces, and communication management. These trends suggest that strategies emphasizing local cultural promotion, landscape preservation, and active social participation are critical to sustaining and improving rural quality of life. This study offers a thematic foundation for future research and policy development, particularly in light of the increasing global emphasis on landscape sustainability and rural livelihood enhancement.
