服务业地理学是以服务业活动的地域系统为核心、探索服务业空间活动规律的一门学科,它是经济地理学的重要分支。围绕服务业地理学研究对象对相关文献进行梳理,文章认为:目前服务业地理学尚未形成一套完善的理论体系和研究框架,在理论上需要吸收服务业经济学、地理学及社会学等多学科的理论来丰富和完善;在研究方法上应加强质性研究和定量分析的结合;在研究内容上应深化服务业与区域经济可持续发展、信息技术影响下的服务业区位选择、服务业微区位、服务业贸易对区域产业结构及产业空间组织的影响、服务业地域综合体等议题的研究。

In this context, exploration of the theory and methodology and innovation to promote development in services geography, implement research focus and breakthrough research difficulties is crucial. Because of this, this thesis studies related documents about services geography, home and abroad, in detail, to get a clear and general ideal of the research context and development in services geography and to provide reference to the further study in future. By combing the document, the thesis supports the idea that: the existing research focuses on the empirical research and the data mainly is statistical data. At present, statistical system in China still needs to be greatly improved and consummating the theory of data statistics system is one of the urgent tasks of depending services geography's development and study.
