从台湾《地理学报》看两岸人文地理学的发展

The Development of Similarities and Differences in Human Geography across the Taiwan Straits on the Study of Journal of Geographical Science in Taiwan

台湾地理研究一直以来都是中国地理研究的重要组成部分。由于历史发展原因,大陆素来缺乏对其发展进行全景式的了解。本文以台湾《地理学报》自1962年创刊至2007年间发表的135篇人文地理成果为研究对象,分析探讨了台湾地区人文地理的发展现状、学科特点和发展脉络,反映出台湾人文地理学科发展的开放特点和受大陆重大事件影响的双重特性;人文地理研究呈现上升趋势,侧重于政治、社会、文化视角的研究,学科属性亦偏向后现代的文化、社会和制度等交叉研究层面;在空间方面,著作者和研究空间明显具有不均衡性。在对海峡两岸中国地理界权威期刊的对比和解读中可以发现,大陆人文地理依然热衷于地理空间事项特征的描述和分布研究,反映了两岸间经济社会水平发展的差异之影响。而两岸地理学界反映出在地理学理论探讨不足的问题应引起重视。

The study of geography in Taiwan has become an important part of geographical research of China.We have been lack of better understanding of its subject development because of historical reasons and man-made barriers.This paper, taking 135 articles of human geography published in Journal of Geographical Science of Taiwan from 1962 to 2007 as the study sample, analyses and discusses the status quo, the subject characteristics and the development of venation.The results show that the development of human geography in Taiwan has the characteristics of openness and internationalization, and that it is influenced by important incidents that have happened in China's Mainland.There exists an upward trend in human geography, focusing on political, social, and cultural perspectives.Besides the attribute of subject tends to crossover study such as post-modern cultural, social and institutional dimensions.It is unbalanced between authors and the study areas in space research.According to comparison and interpretation of the authoritative journal which is recognized in Chinese academic geography across the Taiwan Straits, we can find that the study of human geography in China's Mainland is still keen on a matter of geo-spatial description and distribution of the characteristics, which reflects that the different levels of the economies and society have great impact on the development of academic disciplines across the Taiwan Straits.In the future, we should pay more attention to the fact that there is insufficient study on geography theories across the Taiwan Straits.
