我国山地垂直人文带研究综述

山地垂直人文带是叠加在山地垂直自然带上的一种人文现象,包括文化、民族、宗教、语言、人口、聚落等人文事象和人类的一切活动.我国山地垂直人文带的研究起步较晚,相关科研工作相对滞后,研究成果主要集中在山地土地利用、山地农业、山地人口、山地聚落、山地民族等方面.今后对山地人文带的研究应加强理论研究,在研究方法上注重定性与定量相结合以及新技术、跨学科知识的应用.研究方向也应作适当调整,山地聚落类型的机理与模式研究、山地文化在垂直方向上的研究应得到重视.

SUMMARIZATION OF THE RESEARCHES ON VERTICAL HUMAN ZONES IN THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS IN CHINA

The vertical human zones in the mountain regions refer to the human phenomena based on the vertical natural zones, including culture, nationality, religion, language, population and settlement as well as all human activities. In the past, great importance was attached to the study of vertical natural zones in the mountain areas while that of regularity of regional differentiation of human phenomena was neglected. With rapid increase of population, economic activities of human being are having more and more impacts on vertical zones in the mountains, and thus human phenomena in the mountains is drawing more and more attention. Therefore, it is of realistic and long-term significance to research vertical human zones in mountain areas. However, the researches on this field in China have been lagged, which have been mainly concentrated on mountain land use, mountain agriculture, mountain population, mountain settlement and mountain nationality. In the future, theoretical study should be strengthened. As to research methods, more attention should be paid to combination of quantitative study and qualitative study, and application of new technology and multi-discipline knowledge, etc. In near future, study should go to the aspects of mechanism and models of mountain settlement, mountain culture in the vertical direction.
