过去5年,是中国人文—经济地理学发展进程中的一个重要时期,以面向中国健康城市化和区域可持续发展的社会需求为导向,在国家重大地域规划研制和战略咨询中发挥了重要的支撑作用,一系列重大研究成果得到中央政府采纳,产生了良好的社会影响;学科的理论方法建设迈上新台阶,人文—经济地理学者在承担国家科技支撑计划项目、国家基金重点项目等方面有所突破,科技论文和学术专著数量与质量有所提升,省部级重点实验室和重点学科建设以及科学奖励有所进展.近年中国人文—经济地理学的发展呈现以下特征:交叉科学的定位和应用基础研究的价值进一步明确、“人文地理+经济地理”的人文—经济地理学科架构已经成型、基于人地系统研究的应用领域不断拓展、面向社会和文化发展的新兴领域和方向有所加强、GIS 技术方法的应用越来越受到重视.与国外相比,中国的人文—经济地理学人文化倾向并不十分突出、面向政府决策层的服务能力走在前列,但国际交流强度不足、特别是前沿的学术思想研究与系统的理论创新还有待加强.未来中国的人文—经济地理学的发展,必须在交叉学科的综合性研究手段、基础理论建设和学科结构优化、完善数据采集和空间模拟分析方法等方面有所突破和创新.

The past five years is an important period for the development of human-economic geography in China. Led by the social demand of sound urbanization and regional sustainable development in China, human-economic geography has played a leading role in the important national regional planning and strategy consultation, a series of important research results have been adopted by the Central Government and had a favorable impact on the society. Human-economic geographers have made considerable progress in theory and methods construction. There have been great breakthroughs in the National Key Technology R&D Program and the key projects supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China and National Social Science Foundation of China. the quantity and quality of papers and academic books, the scientific reward, the construction of Provincial and Ministerial Key Laboratories and Key Disciplines. In recent years, the development of human-economic geography in China presents the following characteristics: the orientation of interdisciplinary sciences and the value of applied basic research hace been further clarified, the combination of“human geography + economic geography” as the framework of human-economic geography has been formed, the application field based on the man-earth system research has been expanding, the new subject direction and fields geared to the social and cultural development have been strengthened, and the technology of GIS has received more and more attention. Compared with that of foreign countries, human-economic geography in China is lack of a humanization tendency. Although Chinese scholars are good at providing scientific proposals for government decision-makers, they have not reached the required levels of international communication, frontier academic thought and the systemic theoretical originality. In the years to come, the human-economic geography research in China should concentrate on and make breakthroughs in the interdisciplinary research, the theoretical foundation construction and disciplinary framework optimization, and the methods of data acquisition and spatial simulation.
