项目摘要

The aims of this study is to clarity methodology and criteria of regional comparison. We approached toward the methodological side from the two viewpoints. The first is a theoretical study of regional recognition. The research result showed various attempts of regional recognition in geography can theoretically be classified into the following four basic forms : phenomenological position, absolutism of space, relativism of space, and reduction into the relation between subject and facts. Each form is associated with a particular viewpoint of regional comparaison.The other standpoint is a study of formative process of region. Region is formed through the interplay of eco-historical frame work and intersubjectivity the inhabitants. On this theoretical construct, we proposed "World Unit" concept and presented a new World division.One of the most important research topics of regional comparaison is an inter-regional study. We took South Asia as an example-region for this purpose. By referring to West Asia, Africa and China, we presented a new interpretation of formative process of Indian Hindu world by stressing the role of caste as the "Segmenting as well as integrating" agent. Another two studies on South Asia are designation of historical-centro-region in Indian history by applying the concept of "Chugen" in China, and evaluation of millet cultivation in Deccan by referring to agricultural history of Europe and Africa.Regionalism has a close relationships with a regional concept and regional comparaison. We made a vieus survey on the rise and development of regionalism in the United States.

这项研究的目的是清晰的方法论和区域比较的标准。我们从两个观点开始走向方法论方。第一个是对区域识别的理论研究。研究结果表明，从理论上讲，区域识别的各种尝试可以分为以下四种基本形式：现象学位的地位，空间的绝对主义，空间相对论以及将主体与事实之间的关系减少。每种形式都与区域比较的特定观点相关联。另一个角度是对区域形成过程的研究。区域是通过生态历史框架工作的相互作用和居民间的。在这种理论结构上，我们提出了“世界单位”概念，并提出了一个新的世界分区。区域比较最重要的研究主题之一是一项区域间研究。为此，我们以南亚为例。通过提及西亚，非洲和中国，我们通过强调种姓作为“分割和整合”的代理人的作用来提出对印度印度印度世界形成过程的新解释。另外两项关于南亚的研究是在印度历史上通过在中国运用“ chugen”的概念来指定印度历史上的历史中心区，并通过指代欧洲和非洲的农业历史来评估德干的小米种植。地区主义与地区概念和区域比较有着密切的关系。我们对美国地区主义的兴起和发展进行了Vieus调查。
