中国地缘环境研究进展与思考

Review of geo-setting research in China

中国崛起面临的地缘环境是人类历史上最为复杂的,建立和完善地缘环境分析体系,预判预研地缘环境变化态势是学科发展和国家发展的需要。当前关于中国地缘环境的研究方兴未艾,研究内容多以地缘环境内涵、地缘环境解析、地缘环境驱动机制、地缘环境中的地缘关系和地缘环境研究方法的单项研究为主,而缺乏对地缘环境要素的系统研究,尚未提出一套完整的公认的地缘环境驱动机制,更未搭建完整的地缘环境分析框架。论文认为地缘环境是人文地理学的重要研究议题,地理要素通过地缘环境影响地缘政治和地缘经济,地缘体、地理环境、地缘关系、地缘结构组成地缘环境系统,地缘距离和地缘流量是地缘环境的核心变量。为此,未来的地缘环境研究需更加关注地缘结构影响下的地缘关系,加强多维度、多尺度、长周期的地缘环境驱动机制和地缘环境要素相互作用机制探讨,拓展地缘环境研究方法和技术,深化面向"一带一路"的地缘环境研究。

China’s rise is faced with the most complex geo-setting in human history.Establishing and improving the geo-setting analysis framework and researching and forcasting the changing situation of China’s geo-setting are the needs of both the disciplinary development in human geography and national development.Currently,the research on China’s geo-setting is progressing.The main researching contents are seperate studies on geo-setting definition,geo-setting analysis,driving mechanism of change in geo-setting,geo-relationships,and research methods of geo-setting.However,there is a lack of systematic research on geo-setting elements,and a complete set of recognized geo-setting change driving mechanisms has not been proposed yet,nor has a completed geosetting analysis framework been established.Based on the past research and looking into the future,this article holds that geo-setting is an important research issue of human geography.Geographic elements influence geopolitics and geoeconomics through geo-setting.Geo-entities,geographical environment,geo-relationships,and geo-structures constitute the geo-setting system.Geo-distance and geo-flows are the core variables of a geosetting.Therefore,future geo-setting research needs to pay more attention to the geo-relationships under the influence of geo-structures,strengthen the discussion of multidimensional,multiscale,and long-period geosetting change driving mechanisms and interactions of geo-setting elements,expand geo-setting research methods and techniques,and deepen the geo-setting research of the Belt and Road region.
