Abstract
This study explores the growing relevance of research on urban environmental conditions by utilizing data from internationally recognized scientific databases. As urbanization continues to reshape landscapes worldwide, understanding its ecological implications has become a critical area of investigation. To assess the current state of knowledge, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis was conducted, examining a total of 635 thematic articles that include key terms such as "Urban," "Environment," "GIS," and "Remote Sensing." These articles were sourced from high-impact journals and academic repositories, ensuring a robust dataset for analysis.
