摘要
定性地理信息系统(Qualitative geographic information system)是一个相对较新的专业术语,注重多方面综合描述事物的发展、实践和思想演变,其关注的是定性研究或定性数据与GIS的集成;它是对1990s提出的GIS对主体表现的缺失、对主观能动性的忽视,以及基于实证主义的认识论等批判浪潮的响应,是将GIS立足于一些激进的认识论上,更多地与定量的技术、空间科学结合起来。它打破了GIS传统上只能处理定量数据的观点。本文通过回顾国内外学者的研究,讨论了公众参与式地理信息系统、女性主义地理信息系统与批判地理信息系统的研究范式,梳理了定性地理信息系统在人文地理学中的应用,讨论了定性地理信息系统在人文地理学研究中的优势,并提出研究展望。
Qualitative geographic information systems （QGIS） is a relatively new term describing a set of developments, practices, and ideas that have emerged from multiple directions. Qualitative GIS is centered on some form of integration of qualitative research and/or qualitative data with geographic information systems. Qualitative GIS is one of several approaches to GIS that emerged in response to critiques, which includes GIS is lack of subject, as well as also ignores the subjective initiative, and some epistemology based on the positivism, in the mid-1990s that cast GIS as rooted in positivist episte- mologies and most suited for quantitative techniques associated with spatial science. It breaks the traditional view that GIS can only deal with the quantitative data. This paper reviews the research of previous, discusses how the qualitative GIS apply in human geography, including public participatory geographic information system, Feminist geographic information system and Criti- cal geographic information system, and discusses the advantage of the qualitative GIS as a new methodology in human geography research. Finally, we come up with the research prospect of qualitative GIS.
