美国人文地理研究往往集中在国家优先考虑的问题上。在学科分支中,无论是经济、药物、人口、社会,交通的研究,还是城市的研究,都以解决国家广泛注意的问题为动机。虽然,文化、政治和历史的研究稍好一点,却也与以上各分支大同小异,例如,近来研究的问题是经济萧条、环境污染、能源短缺、城市衰退和服务设施不足。固有的区域问题虽也促进各项研究,如环境危险、水资源的逐步减少和特殊的人口统计组的问题等,但它们得到的注意十分有限。一般来说,地理研究或者坚持现象综合法,或者用实证法。前者建立于研究实际存在的问题上,后者则集中研究假想的证实和理论的发展或应用。地理研究项目既可能是基础的,
Humanistic geography in the United States tends to focus on national priorities. In the subject branch, whether it is the study of economy, medicine, population, society, traffic, or the study of the city, the motivation is to solve the problems that are widely noticed by the state. Although the studies on culture, politics and history are a little better, they are similar to the above. For example, the problems studied recently are the economic depression, environmental pollution, energy shortage, the urban recession and inadequate service facilities. While the inherent problems of the region have also promoted studies such as the dangers of the environment, the gradual reduction of water resources and special demographic groups, their attention has been limited. In general, the study of geography either insists on the synthesis of phenomena or uses positive law. The former is based on the actual problems of the research, while the latter focuses on the hypothetical confirmation and the development or application of the theory. Geographic research projects may be based on,
