摘要
通过梳理人文地理领域杂志近年大数据文章解释其与大数据应用的关系,强调其应用给人文地理学研究带来机遇和挑战:①大数据作为研究方法,不能代替传统人文地理研究范式,而是对现研究方法的补充。大数据和小数据需对话交流;②大数据本身是一种话语权,嵌入人文地理研究系统。保证人文地理学多样性,避免过度依赖大数据,需在批判角度审视和运用;③需关注大数据对于人文地理学研究方法和思想的影响;④运用大数据解读地理和空间过程复杂性的同时,应看到大数据应用对公共服务的潜力,思考其结果如何更好的服务社会。
This paper investigates the relationship between human geography and the application of big data by discussing the articles on big data published in the mainstream human geography journals in recent years in China. The article emphasizes that the applications of big data brings both opportunities and challenges to the field of human geography. However, how to identify the correlations between different variables becomes the biggest challenge for the human geographers to deal with. In this sense, the research on big data does not break through the current disciplinary paradigm, but attempt reflects the relations in the real world. The major findings are summarized as followed: First, the big data, as a kind of new research method, cannot replace the traditional research paradigm in the human geography field, but it can only be the complement to the existing research methods. Second, the big data itself represents a type of discourse system, which is embedded in the entire human geography research system. It therefore requires us to examine the method of big data from a more critical perspective in order to ensure the diversity within human geography and avoid being overly dependent on big data. Third, in the context of big data, we need pay more attention to the impact of big data on the methods and ideas of human geography research. Last but not least, when human geographers use big data to interpret the complexity of geographical and spatial processes, it is important that they should see how the big data can be potentially applied to the public service, at the same time, they need to understand how the results of big data can make contributions to the larger society.
