In our world where the global environmental crisis is increasing, the concept of sustainability has become one of the most important issues of recent times. Unsustainable production and consumption is one of the biggest threats to humanity and future generations today. The aim of the study is to analyze the studies in the national and international literature, which deals with the concept of sustainable consumption from the perspective of the consumer, with the text mining method. Text mining is emerging as a technological approach that supports human activities in extracting useful information through texts in various formats. In the study, 35 Turkish and 206 English articles were analyzed by text mining methods. Thus, it is thought that it will be a guiding source in terms of determining the consumer variables, as well as completing the missing aspects in the literature, by providing an overview of the consumer-oriented sustainable consumption studies that have been carried out in the world so far.
