地理学定量研究中的若干问题

从地理学和数学方法的性质着手,分析近期地理学定量研究中存在的五个问题:1)对所研究问题的本质属性缺乏认真的分析;2)变量选择不当或标定不合理;3)对问题缺乏正确抽象,选择数学方法不当;4)所用的方法缺乏严格的推导,不能保证导出确定结论;5)所用方法不能使问题化繁为简、化难为易。

SOME PROBLEMS ON QUANITATIVE STUDY IN GEOGRAPHY

According to the nature of geography and math, methods, this paper deals with the following five problems, which exist in quantitative study on geography during recent years.1 ) Lack of analising seriously the nature of the studied problems.2) Incorrectly choosing variables or demarcation unreasonable.3) Lack of abstract on problems and the chosen math, methods not fully suitable for them.4) Because of the lack of strict inference to the methods used, it is not easy to get reasonable conclusion.5 ) The methods used for this aim have no function to make problems more brief and easier.
