物流地理学研究进展与展望

Research Progress of Logistics Geography in China

以国内地理学视角物流活动研究为基础,梳理了中国物流地理学的发展脉络和理论进展。通过文献研究方法,分析了国内物流地理学的研究背景,对主要研究领域进行了综述,进一步理清了地理学研究与物流学研究的边缘学术衔接点,映射了20年来中国学术背景下的物流地理学的研究进展和规律,列举出了各研究板块的代表性文献,对国内物流地理学研究的深化开辟了新的理论途径。研究表明,中国学术界物流地理研究宏观属性相对明显,地理学视角研究极大地丰富了物流活动研究的理论基础和方法论体系,已形成了物流运输地理研究、区域物流地理研究、港口场站物流地理研究、物流地理信息系统研究和物流地理综合性方法论研究等主要研究板块。最后,依托国内物流地理学研究的基本态势和现实经济社会发展的需求,探讨了未来中国物流地理学研究的基本趋向。

From a geographical perspective,the paper classifies the logistics study in China,aiming to built up its theoretical context.Based on the research which was done by Chinese researchers in 1990-2010,this paper introduces the stage of research progress on logistics geography,clarifies the academic bridging point between geography and logistics,and lists the representative documents by using the methods of literature research.The study shows that the geographical perspective of logistics study in China consists of three theoretical contexts： transportation geography,commercial geography and international logistics theory.Geographical studies,whether at the basic theoretical level,or at the methodological level,have affected the study of logistics activities profoundly,and made the logistics geography an important foundation and conditions for building a discipline system.Discipline discussion in logistics geography have focused on subject property,study object and methodology in China.The study also indicates that the China’s main research on logistics geography has placed much emphasis on transport geography,regional logistics,geographic information system of logistics and comprehensive methodology of logistics study.Then the paper summarizes the achievements and shortcomings of logistics geography study.Finally,based on current research and economic environment of China,the authors discusses the important research fields and developing trend of logistics geography in China.
