中国地理学者“可持续”研究的文献分析(1994—2021)

Bibliometric analysis of the“sustainable”research by Chinese geographers(1994-2021)

地理学研究可持续发展旨在构建人与自然命运共同体,实现人类社会的永续发展.该文依托CNKI数据库、读秀资源库以及Web of Science数据库,限定主题词为“可持续”“可持续发展”和“可持续性”,采用CiteSpace软件对1994—2021年中国地理学者“可持续”研究的核心力量、重点区域与重要领域进行文献计量分析,结果表明:1)中国地理学者“可持续”研究的过程可分为快速兴起(1994—2001年)、稳定发展(2002—2011年)和整固深化(2012—2021年)三个阶段.2)中国开展“可持续”研究的地理学者多达624位,主要是自然地理学者和人文地理学者,研究机构多达258个,主要是中国科学院所属地理单位,机构间合作具有空间邻近性,机构空间分布具有东、中、西梯度分异性;中国地理学者“可持续”研究的对象区域以地方行政区域为主,服务国家重大区域发展战略的特色鲜明.3)中国地理学者“可持续”研究的重点领域有资源可持续利用、生态环境保护与建设、农业可持续发展、旅游可持续发展、可持续发展教育、可持续发展伦理、消除贫困与可持续生计、区域人地关系协调、城市可持续发展、农村可持续发展、区域可持续发展战略、区域可持续发展评价等.4)未来中国地理学者的“可持续”研究应在可持续发展专业人才培养、可持续发展理论体系完善、可持续发展研究领域拓展、可持续发展服务能力提升等方面下功夫.

The sustainable development of geographical research aims at building a community of life for man and nature and realizing the sustainable development of human society.Based on CNKI database,Duxiu database and the“Web of Science TM Core Collection”,in this paper the subject terms are limited to“sustainability”,“sustainable development”or“sustainability”.CiteSpace software is utilized to make a bibliometric analysis of the core strengths,key areas and important fields of“sustainable”research by Chinese geographers from 1994 to 2021.The results are shown as follows 1)The process of“sustainable”research conducted by Chinese geographers can be divided into three stages:rapid emergence(1994-2001),stable development(2002-2011)and consolidation and deepening(2012-2021).2)There are 624 geographers in China who engaged in“sustainable”research,mainly physical geographers and human geographers,and 258 research institutions,largely geographical units affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The inter-institutional cooperations had spatial proximity,and the spatial distribution of institutions exhibits gradient differentiation of east,middle and west.The target areas of“sustainable”research by Chinese geographers are mainly local administrative regions,which serve the development strategy of major national regions with distinctive characteristics.3)The important fields of“sustainable”research conducted by Chinese geographers include sustainable utilization of resources,protection and construction of ecological environment,sustainable agricultural development,sustainable tourism development,education for sustainable development,ethics for sustainable development,poverty eradication and sustainable livelihood,coordination of regional man-land relationship,sustainable urban development,sustainable rural development,regional sustainable development strategy and evaluation,and so on.4)Chinese geographers should focus on the cultivation of sustainable development professionals,the improvement of sustainable development theory system,the expansion of sustainable development research fields,and the enhancement of sustainable development service capacity in the future.
