“地方”理论在中国的演化与发展评述

随着城市化进程加快,全球化、环境威胁、地方消融等问题受到普遍关注,“地方”理论为解决城市空间意义丧失和人们心灵失落提供了新的思考角度和研究方法,具有重要研究意义。该文以中国知网(CNKI)检索到的“地方”理论相关的285篇论文为基础,对“地方”及其衍生概念进行了梳理,分析国内“地方”理论研究的演化和发展进程,将其分为“概念引入期”“观念分化期”“理论发展期”和“研究深化期”4个阶段,从各领域的发展情况、发展特性、论文发表数量特征等方面进行分析,并对“地方”理论主要的研究内容、研究方法、技术手段、影响因素、分析模型等方面进行综述。最后,总结“地方”理论研究中存在的问题,认为应进一步加强概念的辨析和统一、研究方向的拓展和细化、研究方法和技术手段的多元化、研究层次的深化等内容,并展望今后的研究方向和重点。

A Review on the Evolution and Development of"Place"Theory in China

With the process of accelerated urbanization,issues such as globalization,environmental threats and local ablation have attracted widespread concern.The"place"theory provides a new perspective and research method for solving the loss of meaning of urban space and the loss of people′s spirit,and has important research significance.Based on 285 papers related to the"place"theory retrieved by CNKI,we firstly sorted out"place"and its derivative concepts,and proposed the differences and problems between the current concepts.Secondly,we analyzed the evolution and development process of domestic"place"theoretical research,and divided it into four stages:"concept introduction period","idea differentiation period","theory development period"and"research deepening period".The development situation,development characteristics and the number of published papers in various fields were also analyzed.And then the main research contents,research methods,technical means,influencing factors and analytical models of"place"theory were summarized.According to the problems in the study of"place"theory,we proposed that the research contents such as the discrimination and unification of concept,the expansion and refinement of research directions,the diversification of research methods and technical means,and the deep refinement of research levels should be further strengthened.Finally,the future research directions and priorities were pointed out.
