周期地理学是一门介于周期学与地理学之间的边缘科学。目前国外对周期学与周期地理学正在不断地深入研究,而我国周期地理学尚处于萌芽状态,有待于进一步探讨。本文通过周期成因的历史假说的溯源,构筑了周期地理学的基本理论框架,并且对于周期地理学的两大研究领域:平衡域与周期域的分类、成因及其应用进行了深入地研究,试图建立周期地理学这门新兴的人文地理学学科体系。

Periodic geography is a borderline science between periodic science and geography. At present, scientists abroad are going deeper and deeper into the study of periodic science and periodic geography continually, while in our country, periodic geography is in an embryonic stage, and the geography is in the embryonic stage, it is necessary to make further inquiry.
This article is trying to make an exposition of periodic geography——the cause of formation of periods and the basic theory of this newly developing subject of human geography.
