Abstract:

As a core concept and inherent attribute of demographic research, space has become a significant dimension of demographic analysis.Since 1950s, western scholars have explored population issues from the perspective of space, and have made some progress. In recent years, western spatial demography developed rapidly with the improvement of computer technology and spatial analysis methods and eventually turned to an advanced direction of demographic research, which gradually matured and systematized. This paper firstly defines the definition of spatial demography, discriminates the key concepts in spatial demography, and expounds on the relationship between spatial demography and population geography. Secondly, the origin, development, and evolution of spatial demography in the West are summarized systematically. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review about progress in the west from 5 perspectives, including differentiation and segregation, fertility and mortality, migration and urbanization, regional population projection, population, and environment. Furthermore, it summarizes the main methods used in spatial demography researches, and forecasts trend of spatial demography in the west and proposes implications for Chinese patial demographers.

Key words: western spatial demography, spatial analysis, demographic research, discipline progress

摘要:

空间是人口学研究的固有维度,20世纪50年代以来,西方学者已开始从空间视角探究人口问题。近年来,随着计算机技术和空间分析方法的提升,西方空间人口学研究发展迅速,逐渐走向成熟化与体系化,成为人口学研究的重要方向。我国人口学在空间维度上的分析虽然已有“胡焕庸线”等经典成果,但具体到空间人口学这一学科进展方面,仍需对空间人口学中的核心概念进行辨析,并阐述空间人口学与人口地理学的关系。本文首先简述西方空间人口学的起源、发展与演化,并从分异与隔离、生育与死亡、迁移与城镇化、区域人口预测、人口与环境等5大主题对跨世纪以来西方空间人口学研究进行梳理。此外,本文归纳了空间人口学研究的主要方法。最后,对空间人口学未来研究方向进行展望,并对国内空间人口学研究提出建议。
