摘要
本文利用文献计量方法回顾并对比了国内外地理学视角下数字基础设施的研究进展。研究发现:①国外研究起步早、进展快、主题多,持续深入拓展,国内研究尽管起步相对较晚,但2019年以来在经济管理学者主导下呈爆发性增长态势;②国外研究基于批判性视角和需求端,重点关注数字鸿沟、社会–空间不平等和弱势地区的数字化转型,国内研究强调功能性视角和供给端,聚焦数字基础设施赋能区域数字经济发展和互联互通。总体而言,新一轮数字技术革命、信息社会公平公正和国家战略需求从供需两端推动数字基础设施研究兴起,国内外研究议题相近但研究重点、视角和导向相异。展望未来,建议:①平衡供给和需求端的中国数字基础设施地理学研究,强化研究成果的联动性和系统性;②将数字基础设施融入地理学既有理论框架,推进学科知识生产和理论建设;③充分挖掘地理学综合性优势,引领数字基础设施的跨学科交叉研究。
The new waves of information technology revolution give rise to digital infrastructure exemplified by 5G base stations,big data centers,and industrial internet,constituting strategic components of the modern infrastructure system.Proliferated studies on digital infrastructure range from diverse disciplines and perspectives.Given the unclear principal line of research progress in geographical studies on digital infrastructure,along with ambiguous disciplinary contribution and future research avenues,this paper therefore seeks to review and compare research progress on digital infrastructure from a geographical perspective in China and abroad,and to draw upon key research agendas for academic attention.In general,overseas studies have an early start,with rapid research progress and diversified themes,and have been consistently intensified and widened.By contrast,domestic studies exhibit a late start but have increased explosively since 2019 mainly by scholars in the field of economics and management.Based on a critical perspective and demand side,overseas studies pay much attention to the digital gap,socio-spatial inequality,and digital transformation of disadvantaged regions.Domestic studies,which place more emphasis on a functional perspective and supply side,focus on how digital infrastructure empowers regional digital economic development and connectivity within and among regions.In short,the new waves of digital technology revolution,justice and equity requirements in the information society,and national strategic demands facilitate the rise and development of digital infrastructure studies in geography.Although overseas and domestic studies share similar themes,but they exhibit different priorities.Knowledge production and theoretical construction of digital infrastructure in China by geographers are still in its infancy.Looking forward,this paper suggests that:1)geographical studies on digital infrastructure in China should balance the supply and demand sides,in order to strengthen the interaction and systematization of research achievements;2)digital infrastructure needs to be better incorporated into related theoretical frameworks in geography,deepening disciplinary knowledge production and theoretical contribution;3)comprehensiveness of geography should be sufficiently employed as an advantaged way to lead multi-disciplinary studies on digital infrastructure.
