Abstract

Abstract:

The study of Children's geographies has since the early 1970s undergone the "spatial turn" theory of geography. The publication of Children's Geographies in 2003 marks the maturity of Children's geographies. This paper summaries the research topics, highlights and methods by reviewing the international literature and visualization software. The study found that the researchers, institutions and their regions are highly concentrated in International children's geographies and some developed countries play a leading role in it. Also, we found that the core research consists of five topics, including "immigration and mobile identity, ethics and regional differences, education and youth aspirations, childhood and pluralistic space, games and emotional experience". Thirdly, Asian children's geography research has become a research hotspot and researchers always focus on the two topics of "transnational child migration" and "education and employment of Asian Youth". Last, the research methods of International children's geographies have evolved several periods and the means are also updated.

Key words: Children's geographies, knowledge map analysis, research progress

摘要：

20世纪70至80年代，在地理学“空间转向”的背景下，国外儿童地理学研究兴起。2003年Children’s Geographies诞生，成为儿童地理学的旗帜性刊物，标志着儿童地理学的发展进入新阶段。借助可视化工具，系统梳理国外儿童地理学研究的核心主题、研究热点以及研究方法。研究发现：（1）国外儿童地理学的科研人员、科研机构以及研究所属区域都呈现高度集中性，欧美国家占据主导地位；（2）核心研究主题包括移民与流动身份、伦理与地区差异、教育与青年志向、童年与多元空间以及游戏与情感体验等；（3）亚洲儿童地理研究成为近期研究热点，聚焦于“跨国儿童移民”以及“亚洲青年教育及就业问题”两部分；（4）研究方法历经探索期、发展期、繁盛期以及信息技术广泛应用时期的演进，技术手段随时代发展不断更新。
