海洋社区作为一个社会区域,与内陆社会区域差异较大,其形成、发展从一个侧面反映了海洋世纪到来之际海洋社会的深刻变化。作为一个新兴研究领域,海洋社区有其独特的研究对象和发展前景。通过界定海洋社区的涵义,分析海洋社区的特点,可以明确其未来发展的方向,推动海洋社会学学科的发展。 As a social area, marine communities have great differences from inland social areas. Their formation and development reflect, from one side, the profound changes in marine society on the advent of the century of oceans. As an emerging research area, marine communities have their unique research objects and development prospects. By defining the meaning of marine communities and analyzing the characteristics of marine communities, we can define the direction of their future development and promote the development of marine sociology.
