从耦合到演化:环境经济地理研究范式的转变

FROM COUPLING RESULT TO EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS:THE TRANSITION OF THE RESEARCH PARADIGM OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY

随着人类活动对自然环境影响与改造的日益加深,人文与经济地理学者把经济地理学研究范式与环境要素相结合,形成环境经济地理学研究方向,并随着经济地理学研究范式的转变其研究主题和研究视角也随之变化。通过对1970—2020年经济—环境相关文献的计量分析和总结归纳,发现环境经济地理相关研究不断融入新内容和新思路,研究主题逐步多元;在研究范式上,区别于传统耦合研究过度注重经济—环境交互作用的结果,环境经济地理研究逐渐出现关注经济—环境互动的社会、制度要素的制度转向,关注经济—环境互动中主体的关联和网络构建的关系转向,和关注经济—环境互动的动态过程和调和机制的演化转向。集成现有的理论基础,综合多元的研究范式,环境经济地理研究仍有较大的深化空间。

The deepening of conflicts between development and environment has triggered scholars to rethink the relationship between economy and environment.In order to understand the development process of the research topic,direction and perspective of environm economic geography in past five decades,this paper took the quantitative and qualitative literature review and discovered the key topics in different periods through CiteSpace tools.It is found that with the increase of environmental problems caused by human activities,as well as the complexity and diversification of the causes,influencing factors and solutions of the problems,the researches related to environmental economic geography have been incorporating new contents and new thoughts,and the research themes have been gradually diversifying.From the end of the 20th century to 2020,a total of 31 keyword mutations occurred in the work that can be included in the research on industryenvironment relations,which started with environmental issues and phenomena such as pollution,environment and sustainable development at first,and gradually focused on economics,economic growth and the quality of development,as well as regulatory policy,environmental regulation and so on.In China,however,there are relatively few studies on the interaction among different scales,different actors,and the dynamic evolution of economy-environmental relationship.
