چکیده
در دهه اخیر، تحت محدودیت‌های بودجه‌ای و شکاف‌های روبه‌گسترش دسترسی، نوآوری مقرون‌به‌صرفه به‌مثابه رویکردی کارآمد برای ارائه کیفیتِ به‌اندازه‌کافی‌خوب با هزینه قابل‌پرداخت در بخش عمومی، اهمیت راهبردی یافته است. در پژوهش کنونی با رویکرد کتاب‌سنجی و تکنیک شبکه‌های اجتماعی دانشگاهی، مجموعه‌ای از ۱۰۲ مقاله داوری‌شده از وب‌آوساینس در بازه زمانی 2025-1999 گردآوری، پالایش و در نرم‌افزار آر  تحلیل شده است. نقشه مفهومی و روند تکامل حوزه نوآوری مقرون‌به‌صرفه در بخش عمومی حاکی از آن است که این حوزه طی حدود 25 سال، از نهفتگی اولیه به تنوع مفهومی، سپس هم‌گرایی با دستورکارهای جهانی و درنهایت جهش بحران‌محور در دوره کرونا گذر کرده است. نتایج حاکی از چندبُعدی‌بودن این حوزه و درهم‌تنیدگی آن با موضوعات توسعه پایدار، سلامت عمومی، عدالت اجتماعی، سیاست‌گذاری و راهبرد فناوری است. بررسی خوشه‌ها نشان می‌دهد نوآوری مقرون‌به‌صرفه در بخش عمومی از چهار مسیر اصلی با دولت پیوند می‌یابد: نخست، از طریق سیاست‌های پایداری و مدیریت منابع که راه‌حل‌های «به‌اندازه‌کافی‌خوب» را به اهداف توسعه پایدار متصل می‌سازد؛ دوم، در حوزه سلامت که تجربه‌های بحران‌هایی مانند کووید-19 نشان داده‌اند نوآوری‌های کم‌هزینه می‌توانند به بازطراحی نظام‌های بهداشتی و افزایش تاب‌آوری منجر شوند؛ سوم، از مسیر نوآوری‌های اجتماعی و عدالت‌محور که دولت با تنظیم‌گری و حمایت هدفمند، امکان دسترسی گروه‌های محروم به خدمات ارزان و کارآمد را فراهم می‌کند و چهارم، از طریق هدایت تحقیق‌وتوسعه و راهبردهای فناورانه به سمت طراحی‌های ساده و قابل‌استفاده مجدد. درمجموع، دولت نه‌تنها بهره‌بردار، بلکه هدایت‌گر و تسهیل‌کننده اصلی گسترش نوآوری‌های مقرون‌به‌صرفه در راستای اهداف توسعه پایدار و عدالت اجتماعی است.

چکیده English

Over the past decade, and amid tightening budgets and widening access gaps, Frugal Innovation (FI) has gained strategic salience in the public sector as an effective approach to delivering good-enough quality at an affordable cost. Adopting a bibliometric design and academic Social Network Analysis (SNA) (keyword co-occurrence and citation-network analysis), this study compiles, screens, and analyzes a corpus of 102 peer-reviewed articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (1999–2025) using R (bibliometrix). The resulting conceptual map and evolutionary trajectory show that, over roughly twenty-five years, the field has moved from an initial phase of dormancy to conceptual diversification, followed by convergence with global agendas, and finally a crisis-driven surge during the COVID-19 period. The findings further indicate the domain’s multidimensional character and its strong interconnections with sustainable development, public health, social justice, public policy, and technology strategy. Taken together, these insights provide a foundation for policymakers and public-sector decision-makers to deploy frugal innovation more effectively in the design and delivery of public services, guided by a clearer understanding of the field’s key themes and conceptual drivers.
