地理学注重综合研究和区域研究,过程研究也引起学者们的重视,地理边缘是区域、过程、综合研究的切入点。研究关系密切。学者们已从不同视角对地理边缘进行了研究,但对地理边缘研究尚未有系统总结。本文回顾了地理边缘研究的发展历程,系统总结了地理边缘研究在地理区域、过程、综合研究中的地位和作用,介绍了地理边缘的边缘效应的研究进展,并对地理边缘研究的存在的问题进行了剖析,对地理边缘研究今后的研究趋势进行了预测。

Process research has been more and more emphasized while regional research and integrated research are still the main themes in geography. Geographical fringe is distributing widely, and it plays a new perspective in study of process, region and integration, so it becomes a hot subject gradually in geography. This paper reviews the course of geographical fringe research, analyzes the status and function of geographical fringe in geographical research and the edge-effect of geographical fringe.
