中文摘要：

信息通信技术快速发展带来了大数据时代的到来,改变着区域或城市空间组织及居民行为,流空间成为人类活动的主要载体,并使得人文地理学理论与方法面临革新。本文在梳理国内外文献基础上,认为大数据时代的人文地理研究开始更加注重自然与人文学科间的融合、数据密集型研究方法的革新、以居民活动为主体的人本科学性,并构建了人文地理学及其主要分支学科在大数据时代研究的总体框架。同时,也提出了大数据面向空间规划方法和技术、居民个体行为决策优化、企业运营决策、政府宏观政策制定与管理等方面的应用方向。

英文摘要：

The advancement of information and communication technologies （ICTs） influences human activity and thus the spatial organization at urban and regional scale, with ＂space of flows＂ instead of ＂space of place＂ becoming the major space platform for people＇s daily activity. The exploration of huge amount of information promotes the advent of big data era and the innovation of human geography which focused on the relationship between human activity and geographic space in terms of both theory and methodology. Based on a systematical literature review, this paper summarizes three new changes in human geography researches： （1）in research field, more attention will be paid on the integration of physical science and social science; （2）in research methodology, innovation of data-extensive inquiries will be more effectively employed; （3） in research question, human activity will be more focused. Then an overall framework of human geography and its main sub disciplines including urban geography, social geography, economic geography, transport geography, tourism geography, political geography, culture geography and military geography in the big data era is put forward, enriching and supplementing the traditional human geography theory and methodology. Meanwhile, this paper recognizes the significance of big data in human geography research to analyze and solve urban problems, promoting the sustainable development of urban and rural areas. Thereafter, the possible ap- plication practice in the future in urban planning methodology and technology, decision-making optimization of individual activity behavior, operating decisions of enterprises, and government macro policy and management are elaborated, which will be quite important for human geography to better serve the current transformation of socioeconomic development in China and optimizes urban spatial structure.
