中国移动信息基础设施的空间发展特征研究——以3G基站为例

Research on Spatial Development Characteristics of Mobile Information Infrastructure in China: A Case Study of 3G Base Station

中国信息化的快速发展,尤其是移动信息技术的使用,对传统地理空间产生了剧烈的冲击。以信息赖以扩散的基础设施——3G基站为例,分析了国家及区域层面的3G基站分布格局,探究中国移动信息基础设施的空间发展特征。首先,从国家的空间尺度上进行分析,发现3G基站在全国范围内呈现出空间不均衡的分布状态;通过构建城市移动信息基础设施发展状况的评价指标体系,进一步对选取的48个样本城市进行分类和归纳,总结其地理空间差异及发展特征。其次,从区域的空间尺度上发现长三角地区的3G基站建设规模有所拉大,逐步与各城市的其他指标相匹配。最后,从经济、技术、原有建设基础等方面对该现象的形成机制作了简要探讨。

The rapid development of information technology, especially the use of mobile information technology recently, has shocked traditional geographic space intensely. The paper took 3G base station as a case , analyzed their distribution pattern at the national and regional level and tried to probe into the spatial development characteristics of 3G base station in China. First, the article finds that 3G base station show a uneven distribution at the national level; Next, by establishing the index system of evaluating the city mobile information infrastructure development along with other critical data, the paper classifies the selected 48 cities and summarizes their geospatial difference of 3G base station. Third, the paper finds that the scale of 3G base station in the Yangtze River Delta region has widened in recent two years and gradually matches with other indicators. Lastly, the article briefly discusses the formation mechanism of this phenomenon.
