人文地理学是地理学的重要分支学科,是区域地理研究不可或缺的重要方面。中国科学院东北地理与农业生态研究所（简称东北地理所）人文地理研究一直坚持稳定的学科方向,具有紧密围绕国家战略需求的时代特征,聚焦不同历史时期东北区域发展重大问题,区域研究特色突出。东北地理所建所60 a来在农业和工业发展与布局、城镇化与城市发展、区域可持续发展、区域综合发展规划等方面开展了大量的应用与基础研究,取得了丰硕的科研成果,为东北地区经济社会发展做出了重要贡献。面向未来学科发展趋势和国家战略需求,东北地理所人文地理研究仍要围绕东北老工业基地振兴与可持续发展这条主线,重点研究现代农业与乡村振兴、新型城镇化与城市转型、产业结构调整与优化布局、国土空间规划与区域治理、跨境区域开发与经济合作、资源环境与区域可持续发展等重大问题,探索东北老工业基地人地关系地域系统演变规律,发扬人文地理研究特色,创新理论与方法,加强学科队伍建设,提升为国家经济社会发展服务的能力和水平。

Retrospect and Prospect on Human Geography Research: In Honor of the 60th Anniversary of Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology,Chinese Academy of Sciences

Human Geography is an essential branch of Geography and an indispensable aspect for regional geographical research. Since the founding of Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGA) in 1958, Human Geography has become one of the major research areas in IGA and made remarkable progress. Our research has always adhered to a stable discipline orientation in the field of Human Geography with clear times characteristics for solving key issues on regional development in Northeast China. In discipline division, Human Geography research in IGA incorporate agricultural geography, industrial geography, urban geography and regional planning etc. In the past 60 years, human geography scholars have carried out a large number of basic and application research works in the fields of agricultural development and distribution, industrial development and layout, urbanization and urban development, regional sustainable development, and regional planning and so on. And based on these research works, fruitful achievements have been achieved, and these achievements played an important role to the economic and social development of the Northeast region. Especially since the beginning of the 21st century, the central government implemented the strategy of revitalizing Northeast China and other old industrial bases, IGA has undertaken a series of projects covering regional urbanization, city reconstruction and transformation, agricultural economy and commodity grain base layout, regional planning and sustainable development strategy etc.. In the field of human geography and regional development, our institute got 26 projects which granted by National Science Foundation of China. In 2007-2009, IGA researchers completed the Major Function Oriented Zoning for Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province. Based on these projects, 10 books and more than 300 journal articles were published, and some research results have been used by governments at all levels. Facing the developing trend of human geography and the requirement of the national strategies in the future, the human geography research will still focus on the theme of revitalizing the old industrial bases and sustainable development in Northeast China. The major research will be oriented to modern agriculture and rural revitalization, new-type urbanization and urban transformation, industrial adjustment and layout optimization, territory spatial planning and regional governance, cross-border economic cooperation, resources-environment and sustainable development and so forth. It is very needed to further explore the evolutionary pattern of human-earth interaction system in the Northeast old industrial base and uphold the research feature of human geography. In order to improve the capability to serve the national socioeconomic development, human geographical research should keep developing the theory and pursuing more advanced methodology and strengthen the academic team.
