A Meta-Method for Identifying the Subject of Scientific Research on Land Subsidence using Scientometric Approach

One of the dangers in many areas in recent years is subsidence. Landslides are less harmful than other hazards and its adverse consequences will directly affect human, industrial, agricultural, and civil development. The importance of paying attention to this issue is that the most harmful side effects are irreparable. Scientometric research have provided a comprehensive understanding of global research on the subject. Data were obtained from the Scopus Scientific Database (1965-2022). Most of the scientific research on land subsidence has been on the United States and China. The most important aggravating factors for the occurrence of hazards include the exploitation of groundwater and mineral extraction, which has been emphasized in most studies. On the other hand, the use of scientific technologies over the past years has become more widespread in landslide research. Now it is used more to predict the risk. Most research on the risk of land subsidence has focused on the use of methods and models, but its impacts on different aspects of human life have not been considered. The results of this research can help reduce and manage the negative consequences of land subsidence.
