珠三角城镇化研究回顾与展望——基于科学知识图谱的文献计量分析

A Review and Prospect of Urbanization Research in Pearl River Delta:Bibliometrics and Mapping Knowledge Domain Based on CiteSpace

采用科学知识图谱对1983—2020年CNKI中文总库中有关珠三角地区城镇化研究的6 003篇文献,从发文趋势、阶段划分、核心作者与机构网络、主题演变与历史热点等方面进行分析,研究发现:1)相关研究发文量呈上升趋势,可以划分为起步、摸索、蓬勃、深耘4个时期。2)研究机构从以中山大学为核心的华南院校逐步扩展形成全国性的合作网络,学者网络从偶有合作扩展形成机构内部和跨机构多种合作网络。3)在知识演进中,重点关注经济区、农村城镇化、城市群、农民工、粤港澳大湾区、新型城镇化、创新等研究主题,也依次出现经济区、科学发展观、新型城镇化、粤港澳大湾区等热点。4)研究呈现以政策和实践为导向、视野和范围不断扩展、理论研究由滞后到超前再到同步等特点。同时也面临进入都市圈和城市群发展阶段后,本土化理论建构稍显不足,缺乏人本主义城镇化理论的新模式建构等问题。5)目前,珠三角城镇化进入转型发展新时期,都市圈和城市群成为主体形态,创新成为新驱动力,内涵集约、品质导向和促进以人为核心的城镇化建设成为新发展目标。未来应从粤港澳协同发展、创新驱动发展、本土化与人本化的城镇化理论和路径探索等方面重点展开研究。

Pearl River Delta is the most densely populated and urbanized area in China. As the pilot area of reform and opening up, Pearl River Delta takes the lead in its urbanization in China and represents the development trend of China’s urbanization. Therefore, a great number and diversity of previous studies on urbanization in the Pearl River Delta warrant further review and reflection. This study focused on publications about urbanization in the Pearl River Delta from 1983 to 2020 in the collection of Chinese core journals and dissertations in the China Academic Journals Full-text Database(CNKI). The quantitative characteristics of published papers, the scientific cooperation network of core authors and institutions, research topics, and historical research hotspots were analyzed for different periods through bibliometrics and mapping knowledge domains based on CiteSpace. Results indicated that:(1) the number of publications of the relevant research showed an upward trend, which was divided into the following four stages: initial(1983-1991), exploratory(1992-2002), prosperity(2003-2011), and deep cultivation(2012-2020) stages.(2) The research institutions gradually expanded from south China universities, with Sun Yat-sen University emerging as the core to form a national network of research collaboration, and the scholar network has expanded from occasional collaboration to form a variety of cooperation networks within and across institutions.(3) In the evolution process of knowledge, research topics that scholars focused on included economic zone, rural urbanization, urban agglomeration, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area, new-type urbanization, innovation, while other historical hotspots that scholars focused on included economic zone, new-type urbanization, and GuangdongHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area.(4) The research showed the characteristics of policy and practice orientations, the continuous expansion of vision and scope, and the theoretical research stages evolving from lag to advance and then to synchronization. After the urbanization development stage of a metropolitan circle and urban agglomeration was jointly entered, the theoretical construction of localization was slightly insufficient, and that of the people-oriented urbanization mode was lacking.(5) Pearl River Delta entered the regional urbanization stage, with the metropolitan areas and urban agglomerations being the main body. The driving force of urbanization development shifted to scientific and technological innovation, while the development features shifted to intensive, high-quality, and people-oriented urbanization. Finally, this study argued that future studies on urbanization in Pearl River Delta should focus on the theoretical and practical pathways of the coordinated development of urban agglomeration in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area, innovation-driven development strategy, and people-oriented urbanization.
