辽宁省互联网发展空间差异及其变化

多尺度上互联网发展空间差异及其影响因素研究是网络地理的前沿问题之一,国内外研究主要集中在宏观尺度上。文章以辽宁省为例,探讨中观尺度上互联网用户分布及空间特征,分析了互联网普及率区域差异及其变化,应用多元回归模型分析了2000年至2003年辽宁省互联网普及率区域差异的主要影响因素。研究表明,辽宁省互联网发展具有极强的地域集中性和显著的城乡差异性;并且随着互联网发展水平的提高,区域差异的影响因素发生了显著变化。区域对外开放程度、信息基础设施、人口素质、经济发展水平等方面的因素起主导作用,而区域非农化水平、地理区位因素则未对辽宁省互联网发展的区域差异产生较大影响。

ANALYSIS ON SPATIAL DIFFERENCE OF INTERNET DEVELOPMENT AND ITS CHANGE IN LIAONING PROVINCE

Research on spatial difference of Internet development at multi-scales and its impact factors is one of frontiers of Internet geography.Among the current literature on this topic,it is found that most of the researches are mainly focused on macro scale.In order to enrich the empirical study on medium scale,this paper takes Liaoning province as an example,summarizes spatial characteristics of Internet development,discusses regional difference and its change and explores impact factors.The analysis shows that Internet users highly concentrate on core city such as Shenyang and Dalian,there is big digital divide between the urban and rural area,and regional differential of Internet popularity is also considerable.With the rapid increase of Internet penetration,the key factor that affects the regional differential has changed significantly from infrastructure and openness of society in 2000,the level of education and GDP per capita in 2001,GDP per capita and infrastructure and the level of education in 2002,to infrastructure only in 2003.
