生成整体论视野下的乡土聚落研究方法

文章针对乡土聚落既有研究方法的不足,基于生成整体论的哲学思维与人居环境科学作为复杂科学的契合性,提出"源头-节点-边界-格局"的乡土聚落的整体研究框架,该方法的特征为大主导小、空间嵌套、时间包含,以尺度交叉的学科集群为研究途径。案例在流域的整体视野下,以盐的生产与流通为线索,探讨沘江流域内外的盐井、村落与古桥的空间关联性。认为,生成整体论赋予乡土聚落的研究方法以普遍意义:从分析思维走向生成思维;重视多尺度、多学科的视角转换;积极面对经典空间研究的转向。

Researching Methods of the Local Settlements from the Perspective of Generative Holism

In view of the insufficiency of research methods for local settlements, and the philosophical thinking based on generative holism and the compatibility of human settlements science as complex science, this study proposes an overall study of local settlements including"source-node-boundary-pattern". The research method is characterized by large dominant size,spatial nesting, and temporal inclusion, and the discipline clusters with scale intersections are the research approaches. The case study of this paper takes the overall vision of the basin as a clue to the salt production and circulation, and explores the spatial correlation between salt wells, villages and ancient bridges inside and outside the Bi River Basin. This paper believes that the research method of generating holistic theory to give local settlements has universal significance: from analytical thinking to generating thinking;attaching importance to multi-scale and multi-disciplinary perspective transformation;actively facing the turn of classical spatial research.
