【英文摘要】
Rural
Geography
is
a
weak
branch
of
Human
Geography
in
China,especially
with
regard
to
its
theoretical
development
and somebasic
of
all,this
paper
analyses
rural
definit-ions
systematically from a multi-dimention point of
view
(occupational
、
ecological
、
soci
o-cul-tural).As
an
occupational
de-
finition,
an
area
where
farming
is
the
main
mode
far
as
ecological
definitions
are
concerned,it
means
a
settlement
whose
population
scale
is
smaller,outside
urban
area,with
rural
landscapes
showing
unmistakable
signs
of
being
dominated
by
extensive
use
of
land,and
with
discrete
s-patial
units
isolated
from
the
outside
-cultural
definitions
are
in
terms
of
clear
differences in behavior and attitude
between people in rural
and
urban
area,such
as
ways
of
life,spatial
behavior
and

The
author
thinks

all
the
definitions
are
lack
of
delimitations of rural totally and can
not
be
summarized
by
a
simple
definition,because
it
is
a
complicated
and
indistinct
ulties
of
defining
rural
lie
in
dynamic
evolution
of
the
whole
rural,unconformity
among
rural
elements,relativity
between
rural
and
urban,and
relevant
rural-urban
continuum,which
makes
the
boundary
between
rural
and
urban
more
a
certain
extent
rural
is
regarded
as
areas
differing
from
urban
greatly
and
the
difference
can
be
compared
in
many
aspects
such
as production
activities,ways of life, close extent
between urban and rural represents
different stages of rural
development.
The
author
suggests
rurality
should
take
place
of
rural
definitions under the background of
urbanization in the world
of
ty
refers
to
the
manifestation
of
rural
characters which take urban as criteria
of reference within a
