Interaction between interior space and environment: Current research and trends evaluation

Interior space is where individuals live, interact with their immediate environment, and carry out their daily activities. Individuals can only meet their social, psychological, and physiological needs in spaces designed accordingly. The adaptation of living spaces to individuals depends directly on their relationship and interaction with the interior space and its environment. Therefore, the interior space in which an individual lives cannot be considered independently of its surroundings. This study examines the interaction between interior space, individuals, and their immediate environment, focusing on the contribution and significance of the environment in the design of space. To achieve this objective, a bibliometric analysis method will be employed. Existing literature on space design and environmental interaction will be systematically reviewed, analyzing academic publications, citation networks, and thematic trends. This analysis will identify key contributions to the role of the immediate environment in space design, emerging research areas, and gaps in current knowledge. By adopting this methodological approach, the study provides a comprehensive, data-driven perspective that better understands the dynamics between interior spaces, individuals, and their environment.
