为全面梳理中外城市活力研究差异,寻找中国城市活力研究亟待解决的问题和薄弱环节,使用CiteSpace软件,面向中国知网和Web of Science数据库中的相关研究,按年发文量、机构共现、作者共现、关键词共现、关键词聚类与突显词,对 1992-2023 年的文献进行可视化分析.结果表明,近年来,中外城市活力研究的文献量快速增长,进入大发展期;相较于国内更多关注城市空间、经济和社会文化活力的定量测度,国外的相关研究则更倾向于气候与环境、经济与韧性、生活与质量、文化多样性等领域,热点研究内容更加广泛,更具实践指导价值.随着中国城市化进程进入关键转型期,基于多源数据,多学科交叉融合、研究对象不断丰富、研究理念不断创新、研究方法日益多元化等将成为未来中国城市活力研究的发展趋势.
CiteSpace-based analysis of urban vitality research context and trend outlook
In order to comprehensively sort out the differences in research on urban vitality between China and foreign countries,and identify the urgent problems and weak links in research on urban vitality in China,CiteSpace software is used to conduct visual analysis of literature from 1992 to 2023 based on annual publication volume,institutional co-occurrence,author co-occurrence,keyword co-occurrence,keyword clustering,and prominent words,targeting relevant research in CNKI and Web of Science databases.Results indicate that in recent years,the number of literature on urban vitality research at home and abroad has rapidly increased,entering a period of great development.Compared with domestic studies that focus more on quantitative measurement of urban space,economy,and socio-cultural vitality,foreign research tends to focus more on areas such as climate and environment,economy and resilience,life and quality,and cultural diversity.The hot research topics are more extensive and have more practical guidance value.As China's urbanization process enters a critical transition period,based on multi-source data,interdisciplinary integration,constantly enriching research objects,continuous innovation of research concepts,and increasingly diversified research methods will become the development trend of future research on urban vitality in China.
