摘要:
地理边界的科学界定体现着对地理对象空间分异规律科学抽象与系统分析的认知水平,是地理学的基础科学问题。本文从地球系统科学的视角,首先阐述了地理边界的基本概念、科学内涵与基本属性等核心概念问题,基于科学性、系统性的基本原则,以内在机理、外在表现以及科学属性等视角为核心依据,对地理边界进行了系统分类。论文分析了地理边界的数学内涵与表达方法,比较了传统地理边界划分法和现代地理边界定量划分方法的特点与差异性,提出了集定性、定量、定位为一体的“地理边界模型”的研究架构。该研究盼在地理边界这个地理学基础理论问题上进行概念辨析与方法分析,丰富地理信息科学的理论与方法。

表1
常见的地理边界数学模型表达与对比
过渡属性 | 数学模型 | 表达原理 | 示意图 | 模型特点与划分方法 |
---|---|---|---|---|
显性突变 | 势函数 | 根据突变理论,势函数 式中: (1) 当 (2) 使势函数( 对于显性突变属性的地理边界,由势函数衍生出的平衡曲面与分叉集共同确定。 | ![]() | 模型特点:适用有明显地理阻隔环境下的显性突变地理边界表达。 划分方法:采用突变理论与突变级数法进行地物显著差异分析并定位。 |
模糊渐变 | 模糊集 | 模糊集通过构建模糊隶属函数计算隶属度的大小来确定划界单元的归属。已知论域 式中:称映射 在地理边界的表达中, | ![]() | 模型特点:更加自然表示地理现象,适用于模糊地理边界模糊划分。划分方法:通过构建模糊隶属度函数(根据专家知识、数据集特征给出)提取地物类型边界,建立模糊边界划分模型。 |
复杂交替 | 粗糙集 | 针对复杂交替特征的地理现象采用粗糙集进行边界表达: 式中:论域 | ![]() | 模型特点:完全由数据驱动,不涉及隶属函数的构造,在表达地理边界的特征上更加客观。划分方法:根据地物相关数据集,确定上下近似集,计算得到的边界域即为最终划定的地理边界(过渡带)。 |
表2
定量地理边界划分方法对比
方法 | 优点 | 缺点 |
---|---|---|
直接法 | 由数据驱动,划分思路简便,适用于具有显性突变或明显地理阻隔的地理边界划分研究中 | 使用局限,面对复杂的地理现象或过程,划分捉襟见肘 |
模糊数学法 | 符合地理认知,能够更加自然表示地理现象、对象或过程,适用于具有模糊过渡特征的边界划分 | 模糊隶属函数可以根据专家知识或实验数据给出,或根据数据集属性特征的聚类得到,划分结果存在差异 |
空间统计建模法 | 充分顾及划界指标的重要性,同时兼顾划分过程中的尺度依赖性,适用于多种过渡属性的边界划分 | 需要有领域知识和统计知识,且通常需要假设空间分布数据具有统计上不存在空间自相关和平稳性,然而对于地理边界划分过程而言,其空间属性关联不可避免 |
新型划分法 | 通常采用启发式学习方式来进行边界划分,并从数据本身入手,在符合地理认知的基础上,具有稳定的划分效率与准确性 | 需要大量的初始参数,如网络拓扑结构、权值和阈值,划分过程黑盒等 |
