Analysis of Regional Government Capacity Development: Mapping Research Topics

Abstract

The study analyzes governments' adaptive capacity using a topic-mapping method based on 811 Scopus-indexed articles using CiteSpace. The analysis identified eight key research groups that highlight the importance of frameworks like local adaptive capacity. It emphasizes the need for better operationalization of these frameworks, improved stakeholder cooperation, and the development of effective adaptation and resilience strategies for climate change. This research significantly enhances our understanding of how research topics relate to government adaptability. By identifying strengths and weaknesses in government adaptation capabilities, the study provides valuable insights for stakeholders to design effective policies and strategies for social and environmental changes. In conclusion, the research deepens our understanding of government adaptation capabilities and encourages efforts to improve their adaptability in the face of social and environmental changes.
