空间认同:城市空间研究转向中的知识前沿、趋势与启发

中国城市化进程的快速发展,促使人们不断解构、调整和重构对城市空间的认同,这是城市化发展中不容忽视的新问题。以Web of Science（WoS）为数据源,对国外城市空间认同研究进行了分析和知识再现。研究发现：① 城市空间认同是人们对城市发展中社会经济认同、文化认同、集体认同、身份认同与情感认同的集合。作为重要的国民意识,城市空间认同主题是国外学者关注的重要领域,对该领域研究的本质上是对城市空间实践中人文主义空间诉求的知识表征;② 在2008~2017年的国外城市空间认同研究中,美国、英国、澳大利亚等国家具有明显优势,国际合作研究网络主要在美洲-欧洲、欧洲-澳洲,以及澳洲-欧美之间;国外城市空间认同研究高被引文献注重对“空间多中心性”“地方与连续性”“城市社区”“城市公民身份”“空间绅士化”“地方主义”等方面的讨论。③ 未来研究更加倾向在“认同”“空间”“城市”“地理”“政治”“地方”,以及“社区”等新主题方面。相比较而言,国内对城市空间认同的研究较为欠缺,随着中国城市空间实践不断推向纵深阶段,需要强化城市空间认同研究的“理论自觉”。

Spatial Identity: Knowledge Frontiers,Trends and Enlightenment of Urban Space Research

The rapid development of China’s urbanization process has prompted people to deconstruct, adjust and reconstruct urban spatial identity continously. This is a new problem that cannot be ignored in the development of urbanization in China. Urban spatial identity is an important theme in the era of urban cultural pluralism. Taking Web of Science (WoS) citation database as data source, this paper analyzes and reproduces the researches of urban spatial identity conducted abroad. The essence of urban spatial identity is the collection of people′s social and economic identity, cultural identity, collective identity, individual identity and emotional identity in urban development. As an important type of national consciousness, the theme of urban spatial identity is a great concern to foreign scholars. The research in this field is essentially a knowledge representation of humanistic space demands in urban spatial practice. In the study of foreign urban spatial identity from 2008 to 2017, the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries have obvious advantages. The international cooperation research networks are mainly in America-Europe, Europe-Australia, and between Australia and Europe and America. Most of the highly cited literatures on urban spatial identity abroad focus on the discussion of ‘spatial multicentricity’‘locality and continuity’‘urban community’‘urban citizenship’‘space gentrification’ and ‘localism’. In the future, the study of urban spatial identity will turn to focus on new themes such as ‘identity’‘space’‘city’‘geography’‘politics’‘place’ and ‘community’. In contrast, there is a lack of research on urban spatial identity in China. With the development of urban space practice in China, it is necessary to strengthen the ‘theoretical consciousness’ of urban space identity research. China’s urban space research needs a global perspective. Although there are differences between China’s urbanization development and western developed countries, foreign research on urban space identity can provide reference and inspiration for China’s urban space practice and healthy development in the new era.
