城市空间相互作用理论模型的演进与机理

城市空间相互作用理论是城市地理学的重要基础理论。由于城市空间相互作用模型发端于西方,我国这方面的研究相对较晚,主要是引进和实证,在理论研究上还有待深入。本文分析了几种主要城市空间相互作用理论模型的机制和原理,考虑到断裂点模型应用较广,经过了较多的实践验证,重点探讨了该模型的缺陷、演进和扩展形式,从理论上论证了将空间分割原理和断裂点模型结合的扩展模型的科学性和合理性。对城市空间相互作用理论模型的研究,不仅可以为城市规划、城市影响空间和城市经济区的划分以及行政区划调整提供理论基础,而且对物流分析、设施选址、市场影响力的分析等也具有重要的指导作用。从分析城市空间相互作用理论模型演进的过程中还可以得到深刻的启发：地理学以复杂的自然、人文现象为研究对象,是一门边缘学科,又是一门实践性很强的学科。地理学应积极借鉴其他学科最新的理论、技术与方法是十分必要的,是推动其自身发展的关键所在。     

新经济地理学和经济地理学的对话——回顾和展望

克鲁格曼获得2008年诺贝尔经济学奖,使得新经济地理学成为众人瞩目的焦点,也引起了经济地理学家对新经济地理学的再次关注.本文在介绍克鲁格曼在美国地理学年会专题报告的基础上,回顾比较了经济地理学家和经济学家眼中的新经济地理学,最后探讨了新经济地理学和经济地理学在理论前沿和政策研究方面的融合潜力.克鲁格曼在2010年美国地理学年会上全面回应了经济地理学家对新经济地理学的批评,并以经济学家的身份阐述了新经济地理学和传统经济地理学在学术范式和学术方法方面的差异,有助于消除经济地理学家对新经济地理学的误解.尽管新经济地理学的模型仍然存在很多不足,但是学者们仍然在努力完善模型,试图使模型的假设更加符合现实,从而结论更加可靠.新经济地理学的发展可以为经济地理学的学术实践提供新的视角.另一方面,尽管经济地理学家的视角和研究范式不同于经济学家,但是,传统经济地理学的研究更加贴近实际,更能够揭示现实世界的丰富性和复杂性,从而可以为新经济地理学的抽象研究在理论和实践卜提供思路.在涉及政策方面的研究.新经济地理学面临的最大问题是其模型的假设严重偏离现实,因此其政策推论的可靠性值得商榷.同时,传统经济地理学的案例研究非常具体而全面,但是案例的特殊性使得其难以得到一般化的结论.在两者都存在各自的局限性的情况下,鼓励两者的交流和合作必然有助于经济地理研究的深入,并且可以为区域发展提供更加合理的政策建议.     

新经济地理学及其展望

对新经济地理学的起源、发展、遭受的质疑及未来发展趋势做一简要的评述.经济活动的地理因素一直是许多经济学家、地理学家、规划学者以及区域科学家所关注的问题.20世纪80年代以来,以报酬递增、不完全竞争为假设前提,以数学建模为分析工具的新经济地理学的研究有了不断发展,但由于新经济地理学的核心模型在许多方面显得过于简单,受到了来自经济地理学、区域经济学和城市经济学的质疑和批评.有鉴于此,新经济地理学今后的研究除了考虑要素流动性、规模报酬递增、运输成本等关键因素之外,至少有3个可供未来研究的方向:扩展理论研究范围、加强实证研究、探讨新经济地理学的福利和政策涵义.     

居民对遵义红色旅游商业街中书法景观的认同度研究

文化地理学作为人文地理学的重要分支, 是学者们广泛关注的热点, 但鲜有研究涉及居民对文化景观的感知和认同问题。本文选取了中国传统文化代表--书法景观为研究切入点, 根据地方感理论构建了假设模型, 提出了17 个假设影响路径。根据遵义会议会址景区及周围红色旅游商业街中书法景观的居民感知调查数据, 构建了居民书法景观感知的结构方程模型。分析结果验证了居民感知态度与文化认同的递进性, 拒绝了部分研究假设。同时, 在书法景观功能感知的5 个维度:经济获益、环境审美、场所识别、景观原真性和行为导向中, 经济获益和景观原真性是居民文化认同的决定性因素。研究结果体现了原真性元素在城市文化景观中的核心地位, 验证文化景观对城市经济建设不可或缺的推动作用, 对城市文化景观保护和规划管理具有重要的指导和借鉴意义。     

城市老龄化问题研究的时间地理学框架与展望

进入21世纪后，老龄化问题已经成为全世界关注的焦点之一，亦成为多学科研究的对象，通过社会学和地理学对老龄化问题研究视角的对比分析，将时间地理学方法引入对城市老龄化问题的研究中，提出社会学视角与地理学视角相结合的城市老龄化的研究基本框架，展望时间地理学在城市老年服务设施的时间管理和空间管理，老年福利服务以及老年社区建设等方面的应用前景。     

南京大学社会地理学发展与展望

南京大学是中国地理学教育和研究的重要基地,通过对南京大学社会地理学研究成果的梳理,把握中国社会地理学发展的基本脉络,为发展具有中国特色的社会地理学提供有益借鉴。南京大学社会地理学的发展紧跟国际社会地理学的研究热点,具有强烈的学科开拓性与创新性,一直以来其成为引领中国社会地理学,特别是城市社会地理学研究的重要力量。初期研究成果主要体现在对社会地理学性质与内容的研究上,近期的主要研究领域包括人口、城市社会地理学、乡村社会地理学及相关社会问题的研究。研究内容涉及人口分布规律、人口统计与表达方法、流动人口、女性地理学、城市空间、社会空间分异、城市管治、城市贫困、乡村经济、乡村城市化、乡村聚落、乡村土地利用以及信息社会的地理学等多个方面。处于社会转型期的中国迫切需要地理研究者对具有空间地域特征的社会现象进行分析和归纳,吸收国外社会地理学的理论和方法,结合中国的社会实际,逐步建立中国式的社会地理学,这是中国社会地理学发展的宏观背景。     

基于网格计算的城市地理学研究方法探讨

综合分析了城市地理学研究的几种基本方法,并重点探讨了G IS技术在城市地理学研究的重要应用。指出多源数据的获取、数据共享、模型方法的互操是目前城市地理学研究面临的重要问题,建议将网格计算这一新的分布式计算技术应用到城市地理学的研究中,并给出一个基本的城市地理学网格计算体系结构,讨论了实现这个计算体系的几个关键问题,认为采用W eb Service标准建立城市地理学研究的网格计算体系是目前可行的方法。

农业地理学中的若干模式

运用各种模式研究农业地理问题是农业地理学发展的重要特点之一。国外许多农业地理学家的著作中都把模式作为在地理学理论基础上描述和解释研究对象的核心手段。下文就农业地理研究中的模式分类以及主要模式的内容作一简略的分析。一、农业地理学中的模式分类在农业地理学中,有两种既明显不同而又互补的建模方向。第一种是从简单的假设开始,逐步引入较复杂的内容,一直向实体逼近。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
