虽然人类对河流和其他地貌的影响长期以来一直是地貌研究的一个组成部分,但这项工作很少明确包括社会科学对人类机构的见解,也没有认识到在许多情况下河流可以被认为是混合共同生产或“社会自然”。这里提出的社会地貌的方法与社会水文学的某些方面有相似之处,可以扩展和丰富现有的地貌解释的形态,例如,城市河流明确承认和合作的人类和自然系统的共同进化。从最近的文献中的例子说明了这些关系可以理解和分析的方式,显示了一系列的社会自然的影响,在特定的情况下,有物质后果的河流形态,并认识到系统中的事件有多种形式。这种方法认识到时间和地点的偶然性以及当地和全球知识的作用和性质的重要性。这种方法的一个重要内容是,它提供了了解地貌和其他科学干预的性质、位置和意图的方法,作为系统的一部分,例如在河流恢复的情况下。这也导致需要反思的地貌学家和重新考虑的地貌知识的性质,参与这样的工作,并就社会地貌学作为一个整体。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
While human impacts on rivers and other landforms have long been a component of geomorphic research, little of this work explicitly includes insights into human agency from social science or recognises that in many cases rivers can be considered to be hybrid co-productions or 'socio-natures'. A socio-geomorphic approach proposed here has parallels with some aspects of sociohydrology and can extend and enrich existing geomorphic explanations of the morphology of, for example, urban rivers by explicitly recognising and working with the co-evolution of the human and natural systems. Examples from recent literature illustrate ways in which these relationships can be understood and analyzed, showing a range of socio-natural influences in particular contexts that have material consequences for river morphology and recognising that events in the system have many forms. The approach recognises the importance of contingency in time and place together with the role and nature of both local and global knowledge. An important element of this approach is that it provides ways for understanding the nature, position and intention of geomorphic and other scientific interventions as part of the system, for example in the case of river restoration. This also leads to the need for reflexivity by geomorphologists and reconsideration of the nature of geomorphological knowledge by those involved in such work and with respect to sociogeomorphology as a whole.
