在简要介绍时间地理学思想及其早期规划应用的基础上,论述了1990年代以后时间地理学的发展与创新过程,着重讨论了时间地理学在交通规划、城市规划与旅游规划中的应用与探索,指出了时间地理学的规划工具化及主题多元化等发展趋势。
The development of time geographic theory is examined first, including its origin, evolution and application. Aiming at better understanding what time geography would bring to benefit modern urban planning and regional planning, this paper emphasizes its new development after combining with GIS and benefiting from the rapid development of computation technology and the availability of high resolution space-time individual data since 1990s. The GIS- based geovisualization and geocomputation within the time geography framework will definitely be applied as a useful tool for future transportation study, urban planning and tourism planning. Finally, discussions and suggestions for the future researches, such as planning tooling and topic multiplication, are advanced.
