区域经济地理学方法论建设初探

区域经济地理学方法论建设落后于学科实践和理论研究的进展,有必要处理好方法论与实践、理论及相邻学科的关系,寻求一般研究方法与学科具体方法的有机结合,健全并规范学科分支内容的研究方法,使之形成面向实践的方法体系。应通过借鉴吸收横断学科、相邻学科方法,应用现代技术手段,建设符合学科实践和理论发展要求的方法论。

An initial approach to the construction of methodology in regional economic geography

The integration of worldwide and nationwide economic regions requires sophisticated and integrated methods in Regional Economic Geography (REG) study. The progress of scientific thinking, especially the modern mathematical and systematical thinking, the technical advancement of information collection, transmission, processing and application, make the possibility of methodology construction of REG into reality. Several principles are required to maintain the harmonization among methodology construction, theory development and practice progress. The scientific thinking methods and the technical methods should be connected closely with each other, and both of them should be applied into the concrete aspects of the subject. The detailed methods should be selected, arranged and organized rationally into the flexible system to tackle different problems encountered during REG study. As a result, the subject study method system and the factors involved are outlined to illustrate the mechanism of methodology construction in REG.
