Culture Affects Space-Cultural Interpretation Of Evolutive Human Landscape

The cultural problem is concerned by investigative urban field generally under the background of protecting regional cultures and materializing urban characteristics. Disproportionally, the theories about culture were deficient in the field of urban planning. This perhaps was settled by the end position of culture as one of five essential factors (natural environment, population factor, economic factor, political factor and cultural factor) in city. Short of correlative theory caused not only misunderstanding on problem of space and culture, but also wrong decision-making on problem of urban characteristic and regional culture.This paper emphasized particularly on theoretical study. It attempted to introduce the cultural system through interrelated subject (such as urban sociology and cultural anthropology), to constitute the theoretical relation between space and culture, to form the cultural interpretation frame. It aimed at the 3 main pointses of culture and space research directly. Did culture affect space? How did culture affect space? What was the interactive mechanism between space and culture? Key problem lied in " How did culture affect space ". Examining minutely about the influence of culture on space was just taking a cultural interpretation about the evolutive human landscape.Through study and interpretation, this paper was identified as being useful to clarify some cognition about culture and space, to extend the area of theoretical investigation such as behavior and environment, with more expectation, to reveal some interactive disciplinarian between spacial evolvement and cultural intervention under the torrent of transitional era. The principal part of this paper could be divided into some following sections:The introduction part brought forward the 3 main problems about culture and space study.The first chapter constructed the theoretical frame of cultural interpretation.The second chapter discussed the essential factors of culture affected landscape and space.The 3th chapter discussed the functional culture affected landscape and space.The 4th chapter discussed the layered societal culture affected landscape and space.The 5th chapter discussed the evolutive culture affected landscape and space.The epilogue part made some prospects about the interactive mechanism of human ecology.
