Abstract

World heritage sites, which host a large number of visitors every year, may be more exposed to the negative effects of climate change over time. At this point, it is very important to adopt and implement sustainable tourism in order to improve the adaptive capacity of world heritage sites to climate change. This research was planned to examine the effects of climate change on world heritage sites, to determine the adaptive capacity of these sites to climate change and to reveal the main trends, knowledge gaps and research gaps regarding the role of sustainable tourism in this context, and bibliometric analysis method was used. The research covers 248 academic documents published in the ‘Web of Science’ database between 2002 and 2024. The VOSviewer program and the ‘Biblioshiny’ extension of the R Studio program were used in the analysis of the data, and various analyses such as co-authorship links, cross-country collaboration networks and thematic trends were carried out. The findings obtained as a result of the data analysis show that climate change adaptation, conservation, management and sustainability issues have started to come to the fore after 2020 and that they are still insufficient. The number of studies addressing world heritage and sustainable tourism issues in the context of climate change adaptation/adaptive capacity is only 4. This result shows that there is a significant gap in the literature on the relationship between developing the adaptive capacity of world heritage sites and sustainable tourism.
