从中国城市化研究与当前我国城市化面临的挑战之间的非相关性出发 ,对其中蕴含的方法论根源作了思考 ,认为传统范式的存在制约了领域的研究进展。作者分析提出 ,范式是一个学术领域中的体制性存在 ,并从基本原理、‘现象’范畴、‘经验归纳’方法论三个方面对中国城市化研究的传统范式作了剖析 ,其中对城市化概念的结构性定义对于揭示后两者具有关键作用。进而 ,从国外和国内城市化研究的历史发展和传统‘背景’的方法论特征解释了传统范式形成和存在的历史、现实、理论基础 ,及因此在新的时代背景下不再有效的必然。在此基础上 ,作者对范式转换中可能存在的方法论‘陷阱’作了分析 ,最终指出 ,基于真正的因果关系的‘双向’演绎、对现实问题的切实关注、以及问题导向的范畴‘重组’应是中国城市化研究整体方法论的改进方向 From the perspective of the irrelevance between the urbanization research in China and the current challenges of urbanization in our country, we think about the root causes of the methodology contained in it and think that the existence of the traditional paradigm restricts the research progress in the field. The author analyzes that the paradigm is an institutional existence in the academic field and analyzes the traditional paradigm of China’s urbanization from three aspects: the basic principle, the category of “phenomena” and the method of “induction of experience”, in which the concept of urbanization The structural definition plays a key role in revealing the latter two. Furthermore, the history, reality and theoretical foundation of the formation and existence of the traditional paradigm are explained from the historical development of the foreign and domestic urbanization and the methodological features of the traditional ’background’, and thus the inevitable necessity in the new era. On this basis, the author analyzes the possible methodological “traps” in the paradigm shift. Finally, it points out that the “two-way” deduction based on the real causation, the practical attention paid to the practical problems, and the problem- Should be the improvement direction of the overall methodology of China’s urbanization research
