Advancements and Insights in Island Studies from Geographical Perspective
Through a systematic review of 418 articles published in the Island Studies Journal from 2006 to 2023,this study analyzes the main topics of international island research with the aim of providing insights for the the-oretical development and expansion of research perspectives in domestic island geography.The research primarily cov-ers seven directions:island concepts and theories,island economics,island politics,island social culture,island mi-gration,island ecology,as well as the Anthropocene,climate change and sustainable development.Notably,the fields of island concepts,economics,and social culture have yielded substantial results,while attention to other areas has been relatively limited.In recent years,influenced by geographic thought,discussions on island theory have deepened,particularly regarding space and mobility.Additionally,island research has critically reflected on tradi-tional topics,enhancing focus on issues such as archipelagos,migration,colonialism,and sustainable development.In contrast,domestic research on islands shows an overall state of stagnation.Moving forward,domestic island geog-raphy should actively draw on international cutting-edge theories and methods to provide policy recommendations for the sustainable utilization of island regions and the sustainable development of marine territorial resources.
