Abstract

This article presents two studies whose object of analysis is the distinct aspects of the vulnerability of LGBT individuals. Besides the LGBT discussion, both share the same methodology, which is the examination of case studies, and the use of bibliometric analysis and integrative review to organize a theoretical framework. The question of method addressed in this work deals with the versatility bibliometric analysis may acquire once associated with qualitative methods. Furthermore, since one work is a corporative study and the other is an urban analysis case, we discuss how we can adapt quantitative methods for Architecture and Urbanism researches with a transdisciplinary nature and the differences between them. The application of bibliometric analysis and integrative review allowed us to observe, in both studies, the trends, gaps, and needs, and also improve the knowledge about the issue through case studies. Research findings demonstrate that, in transdisciplinary studies, quantitative methods have greater potential when associated with qualitative ones to produce more original content and add information to the existing bibliography.
