Abstract

The Child-Friendly City Policy is presented as a concrete way for the government to address children’s rights that have been taken away. However, implementing the realization of a Child-Friendly City is still a big task due to the high number of cases of violations of children’s rights. Therefore, research on Child-Friendly Cities remains urgent to support the government’s efforts to realize Child-Friendly Cities. This research aims to map scientific journals from the Google Scholar database using the keywords “Child Friendly Cities in Indonesia” for the period 2017 to 2026. The analysis found 32 articles relevant to the three main terms studied, which are frequently researched, and one term with minimal research related to Child-Friendly Cities in Indonesia. The results are displayed using Network Visualization, Overlay Visualization, and Density Visualization. This will serve as a reference for future research on Child-Friendly Cities.
