浅谈自然地理学与人文地理学融合的基础——与凯斯特洛特与巴尼奥利文章的对话

On the Basis of the Integration of Physical Geography and Human Geography:A Response to the Article by Christian Kesteloot and Lorenzo Bagnoli

受凯斯特洛特和巴尼奥利两位学者合著文章的启发,提出自然地理学与人文地理学融合有3个基础:1)两个学术群体面对的本体论需要接近;2)两个学术群体彼此包容对方的方法论;3)科研运行组织方式有利融合。为了更好地论证作者提出的3个融合基础,文章选用“北京中心城区色彩管控案例”作为例证,将这3个基础不存在的状态下,自然地理学者和人文地理学者面对这个实际问题时会采纳的差异性研究路径,以及渐行渐远的趋势。

Inspired by the article co-authored by Christian Kesteloot and Lorenzo Bagnoli,this paper proposes three bases for the integration of physical geography and human geography.First,the ontologies faced by the two academic groups need to be close;second,the two academic groups must embrace each other's methodology;and third,the organization of scientific research operation should be conducive to integration.In order to better demonstrate these three integration bases,this paper considers the case of color control in the central city of Beijing,and analyzes the difference research approaches of physical geographers and human geographers when they face this practical issue in the absence of these three bases,as well as trends in their divergence.
