1. Human Geography

No. Research Focus Key Research Areas & Features
1 Urban & Regional Planning Studies principles and methods of sustainable urban/regional planning, urban planning systems under socialist market economy, community planning concepts, and emerging technologies in urban design. Emphasizes sustainability, regional studies, and integration of theory with practical planning.
2 Economic Geography & Industrial Development Analyzes spatial patterns of economic activities (e.g., industries, agriculture, transportation) under globalization. Provides scientific foundations for regional policies and industrial optimization.
3 Urban Social Geography Explores socio-spatial dynamics, human-environment interactions, and behavioral patterns in cities. Combines humanistic approaches with GIS and interdisciplinary methods to address urban equity and sustainability.
4 Transportation Planning & Management Addresses urban traffic and environmental challenges through cross-disciplinary modeling. Informs demand management and low-carbon mobility policies.

2. Physical Geography

No. Research Focus Key Research Areas & Features
1 Land Science Investigates land spatial structures, quality evolution, drivers of land use/cover change, and sustainable land management. Integrates theoretical and applied studies to address land degradation and ecological restoration.
2 Global Change & Urban Ecology Examines urban ecosystems as microcosms of global environmental shifts (e.g., GHG emissions, habitat fragmentation). Focuses on adaptive strategies for climate resilience.
3 Landscape Ecology & Land Use Applies landscape ecology principles to land-use planning. Key areas: quantitative landscape analysis, GIS-based ecological design, and sustainable agricultural/urban systems.

3. Ecology

No. Research Focus Key Research Areas & Features
1 Landscape Ecology & Ecological Planning Develops frameworks for landscape analysis, ecological classification, and sustainable land-use design. Integrates GIS for urban/agricultural planning and biodiversity conservation.
2 Vegetation Ecology & Ecological Remote Sensing Studies vegetation composition, dynamics, and environmental responses across scales. Combines field surveys with remote sensing to monitor ecosystems (e.g., wetlands, deserts) and assess productivity.
