【英文标题】ON DISCRIMINATION OF RURAL DEFINITIONSZhang Xiaolin(Department of Geography,Nanjing Normal University,Nanjing 210097) 【内容提要】乡村地理学在我国人文地理学分支学科中发展比较薄弱,一些基本概念的模糊、理论体系的欠缺最为突出。本文试图从多重角度(职业的、生态的、社会文化的)对乡村这一概念进行系统的剖析,认为乡村界定的困难在于乡村本身的动态性、不整合性及相对性,以及城乡连续体这一背景,最后,笔者提出了以乡村性定义乡村的设想。 【英文摘要】Rural Geography is a weak branch of Human Geography in China,especially with regard to its theoretical development and somebasic concepts.First of all,this paper analyses rural definit-ions systematically from a multi-dimention point of view (occupational、ecological、socio-cul-tural).As an occupational de-finition,ruralmeans an area where farming is the main mode ofproduction.As far as ecological definitions are concerned,it means a settlement whose population scale is smaller,outside urban area,with rural landscapes showing unmistakable signs of being dominated by extensive use of land,and with discrete s-patial units isolated from the outside world.Socio-cultural definitions are in terms of clear differences in behavior and attitude between people in rural and urban area,such as ways of life,spatial behavior and aspirations.
