摘要:

空间因素长期以来在社会学研究中被忽视。造成这种现象的原因很多,一个可能的原因在于缺少适合于研究空间影响的研究方法。幸运的是,由于许多统计学家卓越的工作,在环境流行病学的研究中,空间点格局分析的方法日渐成熟起来。因为诸多社会学研究对象在一个较大的尺度上存在空间性的特点,所以我们认为可以借用这些分析方法来研究社会问题。本文向社会学界介绍几种空间点格局分析中的经典方法。

Abstract:

The factor of space has long been neglected in sociological research. There are many reasons for that. One possible reason is lack of suitable methods of studying social problems from a spatial analysis viewpoint. Fortunately, the methods of spatial point pattern analysis are gradually getting mature in the environmental epidemiology with the excellent work of many statisticians. We contend that employing these methods to study social problems is exceedingly valuable because a lot of sociological objects have the spatial characteristic on a large scale. This paper is to introduce the sociologists to some of the classical methods in spatial point pattern analysis.
