自改革开放以来,尤其在全球化、国际化和地方化的宏观背景下,国家产业结构基本实现重构和转移,人口流动的规模和范围不断加大,在中国经济快速增长的同时,区域和城乡差距也在迅速扩大,由于社会劳动分配和收入差距的不同,出现新的社会问题,例如结构性调整导致下岚人员增加和新贫困阶层,按劳动技能支付报酬派生社会极化现象,流动人口集聚导致城市新贫民区等等。从社会发展和政府功能的转变趋势看,比较重要的社会问题温床已经形成。本文试图从国家需求出发,分析现状存在的社会问题以及正在造成的地理空间影响,尤其从城市社会问题着手梳理相关的成因和演化机理,倡导发展中国特色的社会地理学,为国家建设和谐社会提供地理学的理论和方法。
There are some new trends such as industrial restructure and shift, more and more migrations, fast economic growth, expanding regional and urban disparities in China under the background of giobalization and regionalization recently. Some social problems have appeared such as jobless, new poverty, social polarization and slums in urban areas because of unfair distribution and differences of family incomes. A seedbed of social problems has been built. This paper will focus on the discussion of social geography, especially on the course, process and mechanism, and promote the development of urban sociology and social geography, and gave some theoretical frames and approaches for building harmonious society in China.
