江西省宗教场所时空格局及演变模式研究

基于江西省宗教场所数据,以市县作为基本研究单元,以佛教、基督教、道教和伊斯兰教为研究对象,综合运用传统数理统计方法、ESDA以及空间分析方法,对江西省主要宗教场所的时空演变进行分析并总结出宗教发展阶段演变模式。结果表明:建国后特别是改革开放以来,江西省宗教在时间和空间上发展皆不均衡,时间上表现为改革开放以来四大宗教场所总量攀升,佛教数量增加最为明显,基督教增长速率最快,佛教和基督教在空间呈现正的相关性,并形成集聚趋势;空间上,优势宗教的区域空间格局变化明显,优势宗教在空间分布较为分散,并且形成多种优势宗教共同占优区域,同时四大宗教密集区从南往北扩散形成南北带状分布;宗教发展阶段演变模式表明宗教的发展演变有其内部动力机制,并受到诸多因素的影响,宗教之间的竞争融合和相互制衡使宗教的发展演变经历宗教离散阶段、优势宗教集聚阶段并最终形成宗教大融合。

Research on spatial-temporal pattern and evolution model of religious sites in Jiangxi province

Based on the data of religious sites in Jiangxi province, and tak-ing counties as the basic research units, this paper mainly studied four reli-gions Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism and Islam. The spatial- temporal evolu-tion of the major religious sites has been analyzed and the mode of religious development stages have been summarized. The results are shown as follows:since 1949, especially since the reform and opening-up in 1978, religions of Jiangxi province has an unbalanced development both in time and spatial dimen-sions. Performances in time dimension are that since the reform and opening up, the total number of four religious sites has increased continuously and most obvious increase is the number of Buddhism sites and the growth rate of Taoism sites. Meanwhile, Buddhism and Christianity in space has shown a posi-tive correlation and formed an aggregative trend. In addition, the phenomena of over-agglomerate and rapid expansion exist in different religion. Then per-formances in spatial dimension are that the spatial structure of the dominated religions changes significantly and the spatial distribution of dominated re-ligions tends to be dispersed, that contribute to form the regions composed by a variety of dominated religions. At the same time, intensive areas of four religions spread from the south to north and then to be a north-south strip distribution. In the end, the mode of religion development stages shows that the evolution of religions has its own internal dynamic mechanism and affected by many other factors. Competition and merging, mutual constraint and balance among religions make the regions go through religious discrete stages, domi-nated religions gathering stages, and finally form the religious large fusion.
