对新时期国土(区域)规划及其理论基础建设的思考

国土（区域）规划是经济地理重要的实践领域。本文从国土（区域）规划所发挥的作用及存在的问题入手，解剖了作为其理论基础的经济地理学目前的主要缺陷；并针对我国市场体制建设、可持续发展观的提出、买方市场的初步形成、世界经济动荡的影响等大背景的变化，提出了一系列国土（区域）规划性质与内容调整的关键问题。笔者认为，区域经济布局问题仍然是近期国土（区域）规划的核心内容，而非均衡区域增长、城镇体系与农村经济发展、企业发展的区域战略影响着区域经济布局的基本态势，因此，应当针对这些内容重点完善国土（区域）规划的理论基础，推动经济地理学的发展。

This paper reviews and assesses current practices of territorial planning (regional planning), trying to shed light on the potential drawbacks of Economic Geography, which constitutes the theoretical foundation for territorial planning. For this purpose, the challenges on territorial planning posed by market economy, sustainable development, the emerging buyer's market and transformed world market are put into serious analysis. The above analysis provides important insights into the characters of territorial planning in the new era. The study concludes that regional economic distribution will continue to be first-class issue in territorial planning, while such factors as unbalanced regional development, urbanization, rural development and enterprises spatial strategy will exert critical impacts on the prospects of regional economic framework.
