Abstract
Community development (comdev) studies and practices in Indonesia continue to experience dynamic developments in line with changes in social, economic, and political contexts. This study aims to map research trends on community development in Indonesia with bibliometric analysis techniques using the Scopus database. This study analyzed 163 articles published until August 2024 and then we identified the profiles of the most contributing authors, the number of citations, regions, organizations, publication types, and keyword co-occurrence that could provide new openings in future research. The results show that there has been a significant increase in community development research in Indonesia in the last decade with a focus on empowerment, economic development, and local participation. Referring to the co-occurrence analysis, information was obtained that the keywords "social development", "social capital", "community care", and "village" often appeared together, so it can be concluded that the theme of community empowerment in the village level is the main focus of research. Then a new gap was found for further research related to the themes of sustainable development, tourism development, ecotourism, and sustainability in the framework of Community Development studies in Indonesia.
