Progress and prospects of rural settlement landscape research from the perspective of human geography methodology
Through the exploration of positivism,structuralism,and humanism,the methodology of modem human geography research gradually became systematic and complete.This study,based on the Chinese and international literature on rural settlement landscape and renowned geography scholars'arguments,and referring to the modern human geography philosophical thoughts and their derivative methodology and epistemology,concluded that under the guidance of positivism,structuralism,and humanism,the schools of rural settlement landscape studies followed the renewal path of"tradition-criticism-integration-transcendence".Furthermore,the positivism geography mainly underlines spatiality and regionality,which is summarized as spatialized description of order characteristics;The humanism geography is knee to rediscover the place and symbolic meaning of rural settlement landscapes,with diversified people-oriented humanistic care;The structuralism geography pays more attention to the power and social relationships behind the landscape,and its causality interpretation of the power game.In general,the relevant achievements of research of geographical schools on rural settlement landscape are more microscopic than macroscopic,more static than dynamic,and more material space oriented than socioeconomic space oriented,which have their own strengths and weaknesses in guiding the practice of rural revitalization in China.In the future,a Chinese paradigm of rural settlement landscape research with Chinese characteristics should be created from the perspective of human geography methodology,focusing on the settlement landscapes of different types of rural areas to strengthen the deficiencies of various research paradigms,and develop towards the theoretical integration of positivism,humanism,and structuralism to promote rural revitalization from the perspective of geography.
