以福建平潭为例,采用统计法与空间分析法对海岛地名类型进行划分,探究其命名内涵、特征及其反映的人地关系。研究发现:海岛地名以方位、地形、方言、聚落为主要命名依据。命名突出形象性、通俗性、实用性、大陆渊源性与海岛个性。其中以物产、方位、宗教等命名的地名反映出人类对海洋环境的认知与主动适应;而以人类意志命名则反映出"人定胜天"的人地观。最后,提出海岛"地理环境—人—地名系统"概念,阐述地名与人地关系相互作用的机制与过程:最初地名是人类对地理实体的直观反映,命名形象直观,实用性高;随着人在人地关系中主导作用越强,命名依据越脱离地理实体特征,而更多体现社会历史文化特色。地名与人地关系存在时空错位,前者变化常滞后或超前于后者变化。地名具有调解人地关系矛盾的作用。
Take Pingtan Country in Fujian Province,from the perspective of people-place relationship this paper analyzed the categories of island names and their naming characteristics,their connotations and relationship between the people and the places.The study found that:1 the island names in Pingtan Country are mainly named on the basis of orientation,typology,dialect and settlement;2 the island names are characterized by likeness,popularity,practicability,mainland origins and island personality;3Among names after products,orientation and religion are representation of human's understanding of marine environment.Finally,the conception of " Geographical Environment-Human-Place System" is proposed to describe the interaction mechanism between place names and people-place relationship.Place names are initially the product of human's direct reflection of geographical entity,and the island names are characterized by likeness,popularity and practicability.The stronger leading role of human being in the people-place relationship becomes,the farther naming characteristics are apart from geographical entity,and the more social historical cultural features are expressed.There is a spatial-temporal misplacement between place names and people-place relationship,that is,the former's change often lag behind or go ahead of the latter's.Place names can coordinate the conflicts between people and place.
