Abstract
Heritage geography, as an interdisciplinary field integrating geography and cultural heritage studies, focuses on the spatial patterns, evolutionary mechanisms, and social effects of cultural and natural heritage, playing a crucial role in promoting cultural diversity conservation and achieving spatial justice. In recent years, the rapid advancement of digital and information technologies has provided new approaches for spatial representation and intelligent management of heritage sites; the expansion of heritage tourism has highlighted the significance of place identity reconstruction and community participation; vulnerability assessments of heritage sites under global change have offered scientific support for risk governance and adaptive management; and issues of spatial justice concerning multicultural heritage and marginalized groups have further expanded scholarly understanding of cultural diversity and social equity. This article systematically reviews these frontier issues in heritage geography, aiming to reveal its theoretical value and practical significance, and to provide academic reference and developmental directions for future research.
