ARAUJO, Leonardo da Silva; BOAS-MELLO, José André Villas  and  RIBEIRO-MELLO, Andrea Justino. Bibliometrical study on cycling and built environment in journals indexed on the Web of Science. ReHuSo [online]. 2024, vol.9, n.1, pp.36-48.  Epub June 05, 2024. ISSN 2550-6587.  https://doi.org/10.33936/rehuso.v9i1.5639.

The aim of this work was to carry out a bibliometric research on cycling and the built environment of urban areas among the articles found in the Web of Science database in order to gather information on the main works related to these themes on urban mobility. A total of 849 works were found, published between 1998 and 2021, involving 2,263 authors and 178 sources. The main authors on the topics are from the USA, China, Canada, Australia and Belgium. It was observed that most of the most relevant works on the subject have in common the relationship between health, physical activity, cycling, transport and urban environment. As for the most relevant journals, the “Transportation Research Record” stands out as the most relevant within the analyzed themes. It is observed that the subject, although emerging, has not been published by indexed journals in Latin America, with the exception of the journal “ReHuSo - Revista de Ciencias Humanísticas y Sociales” which recorded scientific production.

Keywords : Bibliometrics; built environment; bicycle.
