理论地理学的内涵认知

The kernel of theoretical geography is derived from the interaction and interconnect between physical factors and human activity occuring or occured in geographical environment. It should be to interpret or discorve some more general law on the integral foundation consisting "of "geographical phenomena" , "geographical events" , "geographical structure" , "geographical process" , "geographical function" , "geographical effect" , and "geographical quanlity" . The theoretical geography has also explored the philosophical connotation and methodology of geography. And, it should reflect whole hard core of geography in the integral scale and the advanced level.The discussions of theoretical geography tend to fall into connection of two categories, the unity and the reality of natural world. Scholars who praise the theories and regulations do so in the belief that it is the essential manifestation of all superficial phenomena. Indeed, the dynamic and the transition of matter, energy, and information in geographical systems seem to be as the theme oi' theoretical geography.Besides the argumentation dealing with definition,history , and basic principles of theoretical geography, in the paper we have already concluded its contents into seven aspects;1. "Chaos and order" of geographical environment,2, Geographical systems, 3. Spatjal structure,4. Analysis of geographical process, 5. Organization effect and geographical gradient. 6.
