Adolescents are facing serious mental health problems. Adolescence is a critical period for self-formation, making it essential to research healing spaces that support healthy activities for young people. Young people are very familiar with technology as they are part of the digital generation. Therefore, exploring youth spaces through virtual reality holds significant developmental potential and represents a suitable research approach. This study aims to collect domestic academic data and analyze research trends using text mining techniques, as a preliminary step toward investigating youth healing spaces through virtual reality, and to outline the direction for future studies. In the youth space environment study, a total of 68 papers were analyzed. In addition, 45 domestic research papers on healing using VR were analyzed. A network analysis of key terms in research on youth environments can help identify trends and critical insights. Additionally, applying cluster analysis can elucidate specific patterns in virtual reality-based healing research. The results show that keywords such as healing, psychology, and treatment are linked to topics including school environments, color therapy, and forest imagery in youth space research. Analysis of trends in virtual reality healing research indicates that correlations between natural environments and depression treatment, along with findings related to color psychology and stress, suggest promising applications for youth healing space research. This study has contributed to the development of future research on youth and provided guidance for advancing healing space research using virtual reality. |
