《應用地理學》是一本專門發表研究成果的雜志，它利用地理方法（人類、物理、自然社會和地理信息科學）來解決具有空間維度的人類問題。這些問題可能與世界自然資源和/或人力資源的評估、管理和分配有關。期刊的基本原理是，只有通過對相關的社會、物理和耦合的自然人類系統的清晰理解，我們才能解決這些問題。歡迎就任何涉及應用地理理論和方法解決人類問題的主題發表論文。這可能包括關于環境和/或社會研究的技術、問題和結果的論文，以及關于資源管理和分配的原則、政策和后果的論文。文章在出版前被引用。

Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world's physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems.Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems. This may include papers on the techniques, problems and results of environmental and/or social research, as well as those concerned with the principles, policies and consequences of resource management and allocation. Articles are refereed before publication.
