Review of wilderness research in the perspective of urbanization:Connotation identification,theoretical analysis and system construction
Wilderness portray the dynamic process of natural succession,and their special loca-tion,superior service function and irreplaceable ecological value have attracted widespread at-tention.Scholars have actively discussed wilderness.However,there are few systematic expla-nations of wilderness under the threshold of urbanization,which constrains its value judgment and scientific management.We established a logical line of"connotation identification-devel-opment network-framework construction"in this paper.Firstly,we sorted out the concepts,characteristics,attributes,types and succession of wilderness,analysed their mechanisms,and put forward the conceptual model of"one and two sides"of urban and wilderness evolution,which depicts the dynamic interaction mechanism between wilderness and cities.Secondly,we summarized the four thematic stages of"wilderness development-wilderness identification-wilderness protection-wilderness symbiosis"based on the differences between literature mea-surement and regional studies.Finally,we constructed a framework for the study of wilderness from four aspects,including the connotation of wilderness,wilderness identification,wilder-ness cognition and wilderness protection.Based on the above,this study points out the direc-tion of wilderness research,and we hope to provide new ideas for the construction of Chinese-style modernization in which human beings live in harmony with nature.
