Abstract

Regionality, comprehensiveness, and complexity are regarded as the basic characteristics of geography. The exploration of their core connotations is an essential way to achieve breakthroughs in geography in the new era. This paper focuses on the important method in geographic research: Geographic modeling and simulation. First, we clarify the research requirements of the said three characteristics of geography and its potential to address geo-problems in the new era. Then, the supporting capabilities of the existing geographic modeling and simulation systems for geographic research are summarized from three perspectives: Model resources, modeling processes, and operational architecture. Finally, we discern avenues for future research of geographic modeling and simulation systems for the study of regional, comprehensive and complex characteristics of geography. Based on these analyses, we propose implementation architecture of geographic modeling and simulation systems and discuss the module composition and functional realization, which could provide theoretical and technical support for geographic modeling and simulation systems to better serve the development of geography in the new era.

新时期地理研究的地理建模与仿真系统:发展与建设的思考

地域性、综合性和复杂性被认为是地理学的基本特征。探索其核心内涵是新时期地理学科实现突破的重要途径。本文重点介绍了地理研究的重要方法:地理建模与模拟。首先，明确了地理学三大特征的研究要求及其在新时期解决地理问题的潜力。然后，从模型资源、建模过程和操作体系三个方面总结了现有地理建模与仿真系统对地理研究的支持能力。最后，我们指出了未来地理建模和模拟系统的研究方向，以研究地理的区域性、综合性和复杂性特征。在此基础上，提出了地理建模与仿真系统的实现体系结构，并对其模块组成和功能实现进行了探讨，为地理建模与仿真系统更好地服务于新时期地理学的发展提供了理论和技术支持。
