文摘Through a case study on 24 Taobao villages in Guangzhou,this paper analyzes the relationship between the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of Taobao villages using the online data mining methodology,and compares e-commerce-based industry clusters with traditional industry clusters.The result shows that Taobao villages in Guangzhou are mainly distributed in peripheral areas of the central city,with low population and employment density; villages running the same kind of business present the trend of concentration.And the formation of Taobao villages is highly relevant to the distribution of factories,wholesale markets,express services,and low-rent housing,as well as the learning and demonstration effect among subjects.It further proves that,under the influence of e-commerce,the importance of economies of scale and economies of scope brought by geographic proximity has been weakened,while the importance of interaction and communication effect among subjects have been obviously strengthened.
