中文摘要：

“流空间”的概念对于国内外城市地理学研究影响深远。本文首先通过对流空间概念的系统梳理，探讨了流空间与场所空间的相互关系，并在城市地理学框架下诠释了流空间的基本内涵。其次，通过对国内外城市地理学流空间研究的综述，探讨了流空间概念中国化的必要性。最后，在系统分析中西方流空间运行环境差异性的基础上，提出了流空间概念中国化的基本途径。研究表明：（1）直接作用于某一特定城市与区域的是流空间与场所空间相互作用形成的所谓“场所化了的流空间”形态。（2）考虑到中国的经济基础、社会制度以及转型期复杂的经济社会文化背景，中国的流空间运行规律更加复杂。因此，分析尺度不宜过大，聚焦于城市功能区尺度是比较合适的；（3）物流业、大型国企、大型民营财团与民企对中国化的流空间分析意义重大。物流产业的相关数据可以用作表征流空间背景下中国城市与区域联系基本格局的重要参量。

英文摘要：

The space of flows has a far-reaching influence on urban geography both at home and abroad. First- ly, this paper discusses the interrelationship between space of flows and space of place, basing on a systematic study on the concept of ＂space of flows under urban geography frame work. Secondly, this paper summarizes the urban geography research on the space of flows at home and abroad, and discusses the necessity of sini- cization in ＂space of flows＂ research. Finally, this paper put forward some fundamental approaches to sinicization in ＂space of flows＂ research, basing on a system analysis on the operating environment differences of ＂space of flows＂ between Chinese and western society. The results show that： （1） it is the so-called ＂localized space of flows＂ that directly acts on a certain urban and regional area. The ＂localized space of flows＂ is the re- sult of interaction between space of flows and space of place; （2） the operation law of sinicized ＂space of flows＂ is far more complex, taking the economic fondation, social system and the special economic, social and cultural background in the transformation period into account. Therefore, the analytical scale should not be too large, and the Urban Functional Region （UFR） is a proper scale; （3） logistics industry, large state-owned enterprise, large non-governmental consortium and enterprise are of great importance to the re- search on space of flows sinicization. The relevant date of logistics industry can be an important parameter to characterize the basic pattern of chinese urban and regional connection under the ＂space of flows＂ background.
