[交流] 地理学，尤其是人文地理学的研究目的和研究意义在于什么？已有2人参与

当我们收集各类”大“数据，套用各类纷繁复杂的方法，之后为了格局而格局，为了结构而结果，为了模型而模型，最后得到的只是多彩的格局图，或是各类优化策略。我们研究目的和研究意义在于什么？

我是搬砖工把王法辉老师的一段话搬砖过来
The role of a field can be gauged by how much it is needed by other fields. Maths is considered the mother of natural sciences, so is economics to social sciences. Both are widely used in other fields (in terms of their theories and methods).
The uniqueness of geography is its spatial focus. Jack Dangermond (ESRI president) once said that geography is more about context than contents. In other words, geography's value is no longer about what it covers, but about how it "does" science. What is geography's value to others (including both social and natural sciences)? Take GIS as an example. It is playing an increasingly major role in more fields (e.g., economics, sociology, public administration, planning etc. in the social science domain). This has brought geography back to Harvard. But it is not the traditional geography per se.
One may question: so geography is only used by others. I here cite the quote from the movie "Last Emperor": "how bad is it to be useful?" Not to be afraid of being questioned that GIS and related methods are only tools. All man-made features are built by tools. Does geography also offer building materials? Yes, it is its spatial reasoning, i.e., the way we form concept spatially.
The future of science lies in the borders between sciences. That is why interdisciplinary fields are the most active and productive areas. One may also identify that the most successful geographers are not necessarily 100% geographers by training. "Migrants" between fields (taking geography somewhere in their career path) often make the most significant contributions to geography itself. Do not limit your scope fo studies by the field name you have chosen, rather expand your pursuit by the usefulness of the fields.
