摘要
随着现代信息与通信技术(ICT)的快速发展,人类活动—移动模式正在经历着深刻的变革,这些变革可能会给人们的日常生活以及人类的空间组织带来重大影响。时间地理学提供了一个非常有用的理论研究框架,它不仅可以表达连续时空背景下人类活动受到的各种制约条件,而且能够解析物质空间和虚拟空间中人类活动与互动的复杂时空关系。然而,经典的时间地理学方法并不支持ICT影响下的人类活动与互动行为研究。基于此,本文首先对经典时间地理学中的相关概念进行扩展,使其能够满足物质—虚拟混合空间(AHybrid Physical-virtual Space)中人类活动与互动的研究需要。然后,本文发展了一套时空地理信息系统(Space-time GIS)体系结构,它能支持在时空背景下将复杂的人类活动与互动数据作为连续的时空过程进行组织与管理,同时它还为研究人员提供了一个有益的分析环境,从时空一体化的角度研究现代社会动态发展过程中的人类活动—移动模式与交通需求模式及其相互影响。
Modern information and communication technologies （ICT） are changing human activity and travel patterns that could have significant implications to our everyday lives and the human organization of space.Time geography,which examines human activities under various constraints in a space-time context,provides a useful framework to analyze the complex spatio-temporal relationships among activities and interactions taking place in both physical and virtual spaces.However,virtual activities and interactions conducted via ICT have characteristics that cannot be properly represented and analyzed under the classical time-geographic framework.This paper extends classical time-geographic concepts to accommodate the needs of representing and analyzing all activities and interactions in a hybrid physical-virtual space.In addition,this paper presents a space-time geographic information system （GIS） design that is capable of organizing complex activity and interaction data as spatio-temporal processes in an integrated space-time environment.This space-time GIS design offers a useful analytical environment for researchers to study increasingly dynamic human activity and travel patterns in today’s society and their implications toward changing travel demand patterns from both spatial and temporal perspectives.
