摘　　要： 以城市人口密度和城区面积的乘积来估算历史时期城市人口数量或可说是一种最为简单高效的方式,然而由于相关历史数据难以获得,这一方法极少见于相关研究中。近年来随着GIS技术在人文社会科学领域日趋普遍地运用,加之逐步发掘的民国实测地形图资料,使得获取民国时期江南各城市的城区面积成为可能,而根据部分县市的人口调查资料可以分析不同类型城市的人口密度,进而也就可以估算那些没有资料的城市的人口数量。以各城市聚落在地形图中所表现的形态特征为依据进行类型划分,其中筑有城墙城市可分为4类,平均人口密度分别为28 988.65人/km^2、13 544.42人/km^2、5 748.48人/km^2、2 160.18人/km^2;未筑有城墙城市的平均人口密度为18 142.98人/km^2,据此估算出江南227个城市的人口数约为111万人。 The most effective way to calculate the population of a city in a certain historical period is to multiply urban population density by urban area.However,because of the difficulty in acquiring related historical data,this method is rarely used in relevant researches.In recent years,as the GIS technology becomes widely used in studies of humanities and social sciences and more topographic maps measured in the period of the Republic of China have been unearthed,it is possible to acquire data about the urban area of every city in Jiangnan.Moreover,census data in different areas can be analyzed to obtain information about the density of population in different types of cities.By this means,the population of a city without historical data can thus be estimated.According to the morphological characteristics of cities shown in topographic maps,walled cities can be classified into four types whose average population density is 28988.65,13544.42,5748.48 and 2160.18 person/km2 respectively;while the average population density of cities without walls is18142.98 person/km2,hence estimating that 227 cities altogether have a total population of 1.11 million people of Jiangnan in the period of the Republic of China.
