英文摘要：

With a view to the relationship between people and the land, cultural landscape theory is the very center of cultural ge- ography research. This paper analyses the recent ten years advances from two aspects： one is the basic theories, including settle- ment and architecture cultural landscape, cultural landscape change and interpretation, cultural landscape perception and interpre- tation, and the other is practical applications, including cultural landscape planning and cultural landscape ecology. Then this pa- per summaries up different characteristics of the external cultural landscape research in research field, research scale, research method, research object and reasearch degree etc. On this basis, this paper points out the shortcomings o[ current researches, and finally looks to the future research directions.
