数量地理方法对地理学发展的影响

简要介绍了数量地理方法的发展背景、过程和发展的推动力,从正反两面阐述了其对地理学发展的影响:数量方法对地理学的生存发展无疑起到了重要的作用,然而由于对这些工具的过分依赖,而忽视了自身的发展问题。得出结论:只要把握好地理学自身的发展方向,数量地理方法的正确应用在向社会展示地理学价值的同时,也将会解决目前地理学自身发展中的一系列问题,进而推动其理论化、科学化。

THE INFLUENCES OF QUANTITATIVE GEOGRAPHY METHODS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHY

This article briefly introduces the background,process and impetus of the development of quantitative geography,the influences of which on the development of geography is elaborated objectively.Undoubtedly,quantitative methods have played an unreplaceable role on the survival and development of geography.However,geography has ignored the development of itself due to unduly reliance on them.At last,we make a conclusion that as long as we hold the direction of the development of geography in hand,the accurately application of quantitative geography methods will resolve sets of problems arising in the development of geography and further expediate it's theorization and scientification at the same time display the grate value of geography to the whole society.
