【Objective】Through CiteSpace, this study conducted a comprehensive visual analysis of domestic and foreign homestead reclamation literature from the aspects of publication volume, keyword co-occurrence, clustering, etc., aiming to reflect the research progress in the field of homestead reclamation and the existing problems in this field, with a view to providing references for homestead reclamation research.【Method】With "homestead reclamation" and "homestead soil reconstruction" as search terms, literature screening was carried out in CNKI and WOS core collection, and visualization analysis was performed using CiteSpace.【Result】The increase in the number of papers published at home and abroad reflects the increasing research popularity and attention in this field. Domestic scholars focus on land use optimization, urban-rural integration, ecological protection and market circulation, while foreign literature is more inclined to case analysis and technological breakthroughs. In addition, domestic research on homestead reclamation focuses on the interaction between homestead reclamation and policies, while many international literatures discuss reclamation programs and their effects based on case studies and technical practice. 【Conclusion】Both domestic and foreign researches have recognized that soil quality is the key to the success of reclamation, but the domestic emphasis is more on the practice of "problem-countermeasure" closed loop, and the international emphasis is more on the scientific analysis of "mechanism - impact". Future research should prioritize addressing the low efficiency, high costs, and poor regional adaptability of soil reclamation technologies. Targeting soil constraints in rural homestead reclamation, interdisciplinary integration of environmental engineering, land science, ecology, sociology, and economics should be employed to develop a full-chain technical system covering diagnosis, reclamation, and maintenance. Concurrently, efforts must focus on enhancing the operability of these technologies to advance the transition of rural homestead reclamation from mere land leveling to multifunctional ecosystem reconstruction.
