Abstract

Development Geography is a branch of geography which studies the socioeconomic development of different countries and regions worldwide. Its related research provides informative ideas for promoting regionally coordinated development. This study introduces the basic connotation and theory of Development Geography research, and clarifies its primary indicators and core approaches to provide solutions for regional development. Finally, the application in regional development research under globalization is proposed. It is considered that the systematically integrated geography paradigm highlights the advantages of Development Geography in regional development research. As a result of its “differentiation characteristics-diffusion state-convergence mode”, an important theoretical basis and methodological paradigm are provided to explore the features of regional development. Since the development gaps among regions exist long throughout the world, Development Geography research ought to focus on new characteristics and challenges of regional development, to provide a theoretical basis for synergy management of sustainable development goals and international cooperation. This contributes to high-quality regional development.

发展地理学:探索促进区域发展的解决方案

发展地理学是地理学的一个分支，研究世界不同国家和地区的社会经济发展。其相关研究为促进区域协调发展提供了有益的思路。本研究介绍了发展地理学研究的基本内涵和理论，阐明了发展地理学的主要指标和核心方法，为区域发展提供了解决方案。最后，提出了在全球化背景下区域发展研究中的应用。认为系统整合的地理学范式凸显了发展地理学在区域发展研究中的优势。由于其“分化特征-扩散状态-趋同模式”，为探索区域发展特征提供了重要的理论基础和方法范式。由于区域间的发展差距在世界范围内长期存在，发展地理学研究应关注区域发展的新特点和新挑战，为可持续发展目标的协同管理和国际合作提供理论依据。这有助于区域高质量发展。

期刊介绍： Geography and Sustainability serves as a central hub for interdisciplinary research and education aimed at promoting sustainable development from an integrated geography perspective. By bridging natural and human sciences, the journal fosters broader analysis and innovative thinking on global and regional sustainability issues. Geography and Sustainability welcomes original, high-quality research articles, review articles, short communications, technical comments, perspective articles and editorials on the following themes: Geographical Processes: Interactions with and between water, soil, atmosphere and the biosphere and their spatio-temporal variations; Human-Environmental Systems: Interactions between humans and the environment, resilience of socio-ecological systems and vulnerability; Ecosystem Services and Human Wellbeing: Ecosystem structure, processes, services and their linkages with human wellbeing; Sustainable Development: Theory, practice and critical challenges in sustainable development.
