Abstract

Recently, extensive attention has been devoted to eco-city theoretical research in China. Several findings and viewpoints are presented on the various perspectives explored by scholars in this area. However, insufficient efforts have been made to outline the framework because conflicting opinions exist regarding eco-city development. With the purpose of promoting the development of eco-city theory and defining the new research frontier in the field, current existing research outputs were analyzed and induced. A total number of 405 articles focusing on eco-city published in the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index between 1999 and 2016 were analyzed with a scientific visualization method using Citespace III software. This paper mainly focuses on author co-citation network, document co-citation network, keyword co-occurrence network and term burstiness. Visualized analysis of the literature provides a review of current research to identify the development of new emerging trends. According to these studies, the primary knowledge clusters of China’s eco-city research are system construction, environmental economy, complex community, construction approach, spatial structure, evaluation index and eco-city. Node documents in these clusters are concerned with foundational knowledge of eco-city studies. It is also noted that topics of eco-city research in China are generalized into three core paths, which are eco-city evolution, low-carbon city theory evolution and sustainable development theory evolution. Our research concludes that macro comprehensive studies have become gradually regional, characteristic, and specified. A low-carbon city evaluation system and a low-carbon developing strategy are at the forefront of current research.
