Take Pingtan Country in Fujian Province ,from the perspective of people-place relationship this paper analyzed the categories of island names and their naming characteristics ,their connotations and relationship between the people and the places .The study found that :① the island names in Pingtan Country are mainly named on the basis of orientation ,typology ,dialect and settlement ; ② the island names are characterized by likeness ,popularity ,practicability ,mainland origins and island personality ;③Among names after products ,orientation and religion are representation of human's understanding of ma-rine environment .Finally , the conception of "Geographical Environment-Human-Place System" is pro-posed to describe the interaction mechanism betw een place names and people-place relationship . Place names are initially the product of human's direct reflection of geographical entity ,and the island names are characterized by likeness ,popularity and practicability . T he stronger leading role of human being in the people-place relationship becomes ,the farther naming characteristics are apart from geographical entity , and the more social historical cultural features are expressed .There is a spatial-temporal misplacement be-tween place names and people-place relationship ,that is ,the former's change often lag behind or go ahead of the latter's .Place names can coordinate the conflicts between people and place .%以福建平潭为例，采用统计法与空间分析法对海岛地名类型进行划分，探究其命名内涵、特征及其反映的人地关系。研究发现：海岛地名以方位、地形、方言、聚落为主要命名依据。命名突出形象性、通俗性、实用性、大陆渊源性与海岛个性。其中以物产、方位、宗教等命名的地名反映出人类对海洋环境的认知与主动适应；而以人类意志命名则反映出“人定胜天”的人地观。最后，提出海岛“地理环境—人—地名系统”概念，阐述地名与人地关系相互作用的机制与过程：最初地名是人类对地理实体的直观反映，命名形象直观，实用性高；随着人在人地关系中主导作用越强，命名依据越脱离地理实体特征，而更多体现社会历史文化特色。地名与人地关系存在时空错位，前者变化常滞后或超前于后者变化。地名具有调解人地关系矛盾的作用。
