Abstract: This paper aims to explore the development of ICHD (intangible cultural heritage design), provide insights into its global trends, and foster its growth and advancement. The objectives are achieved through a mixed-methods approach that combines bibliometric methods and content analysis. This approach allows for a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the scientific literature related to ICHD. The findings of the work include an analysis of the most productive countries/regions, institutions, journals, and authors in the field of ICHD. In addition, it encompasses citation and co-citation analyses, aiding in the identification of influential scholars and esteemed journals within the domain as well as revealing collaborative patterns among researchers. The outcomes and implications for practice include a better understanding of the global trends in ICHD and insights into its growth and development. The research findings carry substantial theoretical and practical significance, leading to proposed avenues for future research. This paper significantly contributes to an enhanced understanding of the global landscape of ICHD, offering invaluable guidance and inspiration to researchers and practitioners alike.
