Abstract

Introduction:The increase in the importance of governance knowledge along with recent scientific researches and productions necessitates the formation of a network and a system of scientific communication around the governance knowledge. Methodology:Therefore, the present research aims to use the scientometric method and the technique of co-word analysis; To draw a map of the field of knowledge of governance based on all 1136 internal scientific-research articles that have been indexed in the Persian Islamic World Sciences database and Noor specialized magazines in the period from 1390 to 1401. Excel and VOSviewer software have been used to analyze the network of concepts, prepare data and draw a scientific map. Results and discussion: The findings of this research consist of 196 keywords related to the governance network. Conclusion:Also, after the keywords "good governance" and "good urban governance", keywords such as "urban management and planning", "public participation" and "sustainable development" are among the most frequent keywords in governance research; which have the most co-occurrence.
