摘要

地理环境暴露的健康效应及其人群公平问题一直受到广泛关注。女性主义地理学突破经典的区域分析视角，聚焦群体特性以及群体间物质和社会环境差异，为理解该问题提供理论支撑。本文从女性主义地理学视角出发，通过计量分析揭示近二十年来环境暴露健康效应研究的演化趋势与前沿热点；基于性别身体与环境的互动模式，凝练不同层次环境暴露的健康效应机制，构建女性主义地理学视角下的环境暴露健康效应理论框架。分析发现，研究由最初关注普遍意义上的空间、身体和女性关系，逐步细化至特定地方和场景中的群体不平等，重点探讨多种弱势属性交叉群体的健康问题。对健康的理解也从单一健康概念转向包含感知与体验的多维健康建构。前沿热点呈现出三大聚类，涵盖邻里环境暴露、移动环境暴露和感知环境暴露的健康效应。性别差异与女性群体内部差异在身体栖居、流动与体验过程中交叉作用，导致健康的人群不平等。未来研究应立足中国语境，探索以特定群体需求为核心的“在地化”健康干预策略，推动包容性健康地理环境建设。

Abstract

The health effects of environmental exposure and related social inequalities have received increasing attention. Feminist geography offers a theoretical lens that moves beyond traditional spatial analysis to highlight group identities and socio-environmental disparities. Drawing on this perspective, this study employs bibliometric tools to map two decades of research. Grounded in the interaction between gendered bodies and environments, it identifies multi-level health mechanisms and proposes a feminist-informed theoretical framework. The field has shifted from broad discussions of space, body, and gender to intersectional inequalities in specific contexts, especially among marginalized groups. Health is now seen as a multidimensional construct encompassing perception and lived experience. Three major research clusters have emerged, focusing on neighborhood, mobile, and perceived environmental exposures. Gendered differences intersect with intra-group disparities to shape unequal health outcomes. Future research should develop contextspecific health interventions to foster inclusive urban well-being.
