摘要:

《中国园林》是中国风景园林学科和园林绿化行业最为重要的学术刊物。系统梳理其创刊40年来刊载的规划设计实践类论文演进脉络，既能展现学科与 行业发展的全景图谱，揭示期刊在理论与实践间发挥的作用，也可为新时期刊物转型提供参照。以1985—2024年刊载的规划设计实践类论文为研究对象，运用 文献计量法，从研究选题演变与行业发展、论文范式演进与学科建设2个维度，分析期刊在这一过程中发挥的作用。研究显示，论文选题演变揭示出行业发展具有 核心业务基本稳定、实践边界逐步扩展和语境体系阶段性变化等特征，期刊在这一过程中记录了实践对政策的响应落实、推动了实践影响政策制定，反映了行业 与经济发展深层关联；论文范式演进呈现出从“项目简介和经验总结”，经“理论和技术指导下的项目总结”，过渡到“理论和技术体系构建”的特征，揭示出 期刊与学科建设在科学性、规范性上的相互促进。研究建议，期刊应积极响应学科和行业的新趋势，引导学术研究更加贴近行业转型的现实需求，在行业治理体 系和治理能力现代化建设中发挥更为突出的作用。

Abstract:

As a comprehensive and theoretical academic journal supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology and hosted by the Chinese Society of Landscape Architecture, Chinese Landscape Architecture, since its founding in 1985, has evolved into one of the most influential academic publications in China's landscape architecture discipline and urban greening industry. Its papers reflect the historical development of the field over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up. The journal has played a dual role: advancing and documenting the scientific progress of the discipline and industry, and serving as a critical bridge for communication between them. On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, reviewing the evolution of its planning and design practiceoriented papers provides insight into the broader development of the discipline and industry, and highlights the journal's foundational role as a bridge among academia, practice, theory, policy, and implementation. This study analyzes the journal's contributions from 1985 to 2024 using bibliometric methods and CiteSpace, focusing on two dimensions: the evolution of research topics and industry development, and the progression of paper paradigms and disciplinary construction. A total of 1,385 planning and design practice-oriented papers were analyzed. Findings reveal steady growth in publication numbers over 40 years, with universities and state-owned design institutes as the main contributors. Author collaboration has intensified, and project locations span the entire nation. Three key features characterize the evolution of research topics: First, core business areas have remained stable, including urban landscape planning, green space and ecological planning, and scenic/natural reserve planning. Park design, a central component of urban planning, continues to hold significant weight. Second, the scope of practice has expanded significantly from urban design to 21 types, such as tourism and recreation planning, rural landscape design, ecological restoration, and urban renewal. Non-core urban design projects now account for a much larger share. Third, the contextual framework has shifted across phases, reflecting changing societal and policy priorities. These trends demonstrate the close ties between planning practice and the industry, including responsiveness to policy, theoretical and practical contributions to policymaking, and deep links with economic development. Three stages mark the evolution of research paradigms: From 1985 to 1994, the focus was on project introductions and experience sharing, centered on the projects themselves. From 1995 to 2014, the emphasis shifted to incorporating concepts and technologies, while still project-based, with emerging theoretical and technical support. From 2015 to 2024, the field entered an academic transformation phase, focusing on planning and design methodologies rather than individual projects. These stages reflect the growing scientific rigor of the discipline and the journal's reciprocal role in elevating disciplinary standards. In summary, Chinese Landscape Architecture effectively bridged the discipline and industry. It is recommended that the journal further align with emerging trends, enhance its editorial and review mechanisms for practice-oriented research, and strengthen its role as a connector among theory, policy, and practice. By guiding research to better address policy needs, industry realities, and transformation goals, the journal can contribute to the sustainable and modernized development of the landscape architecture sector and its governance systems.
