地理学研究生教育的空间性及其生产机制

Spatial Production of Geography Postgraduate Education

比较中国高校地理学研究生培养方案,识别高校地理学研究生教育的空间性及其生产机制。研究发现:(1)研究生培养单位分布区域不平衡显著,隶属关系与区位差异直接影响培养方向、目标、创新能力等方面育成途径差异,地理学研究生培养日益重视学科内部交叉,以及与生态环境、测绘、海洋、经济、城乡规划与资源环境管理等外部学科交叉衍生;(2)中央政府直属高校自然地理人才培养面向全球变化、资源利用与自然灾害,人文地理人才培养集中在经济、城市、旅游等三级分支理论研究及其服务国家发展规划,地理信息系统人才养集中在资源环境遥感原理与应用、生态环境监测;省属高校地理学研究生培养更加注重地方发展、资源环境利用与中学师资等方向。

This paper compared the data of geography postgraduate programs and directions in Chinese higher educational institutions to conduct a spatial analysis to dissect the spatial characteristics of geography postgraduate education in Chinese universities and its production mechanism. It found that(1) the distribution of geography postgraduate training units in Chinese universities showed significant spatial characteristics of regional imbalance;the affiliation and regional differences of geography postgraduate training colleges and universities directly affect the direction, objective and innovative path to cultivation while more attention is paid to the intersection within disciplines and the interaction with external disciplines such as ecology and environmental studies, mapping science and technology, marine science, regional economy and management;(2)the postgraduate training in physical geography in universities under the Ministry of Education is oriented toward global environmental change, resource utilization and management of natural disasters, while the postgraduate training in human geography was concentrated in economic, urban and tourism geography, with GIS to be concentrated in application of remote sensing. It, otherwise, found that the postgraduate training in human geography focuses on economic, urban and tourism geography & planning while GIS and physical geography on the principle and application of remote sensing of resources, environmental, ecological and environmental changes, and disaster mitigation and prevention monitoring.
