Abstract:

Owing to the multidimensional and spatial nature of poverty and the synthetic and visible analysis merits of geography science, there is a great potential for geography science, which is taking human-environment relationships as core topics, to understand regional poverty and guide the poverty alleviation practices. This article tries to explain the connotation, inscapes, patterns, formation process and countermeasures in a view of geography science based on the retrospect of geographical research on domestic and abroad poverty. The main conclusions showed that: (1) Regional poverty can be considered as a status or process of deprivation on the three dimensions of "human", "activities" and "environment", or the disharmony among them under the specific situation; (2) The inscapes of regional poverty contain subjective factor ("human"), intermediated factor ("activities") and objective factor ("environment"), and the poverty patterns were caused by the deprivation of the three factors or their imbalanced coupling; (3) The formation process of regional poverty patterns can be understood as a nonlinear negative accumulative cycle of disorderly coupling of subjective factor, intermediated factor and objective factor. At the same time, it can be considered as a phenomenon that the subjective factor ("human") and objective factor ("environment") can not catch up or match the changes of intermediated factor ("activities") during the transitions of human civilization; (4) Synthetical poverty alleviation needs targeted interventions as well as coordination of all countermeasures, which is similar to the consultation of doctors in hospital, which may be a good way to achieve the goal.
