Especially, this research focused on the internet's space and time perception based on communication genres such as e-mail, Blogs, portals, news-media, e-commerce, and social media (SNS). The research adopted two theories (construal level theory of time and space). The time related theory is "temporal distance theory". The space related theory is "media space". The research is designed to measure user's perception of interactivity, time-construal level and its media space cognition while using the media. There are two independent variables: Interactivities (contents, user, and media levels) and user involvement (CMC-user vs. user, HCI-user vs. media); there are two dependent variables: Cognition of spatial and temporal levels. This research also seeks the associated variables relationship among those variables through the structural equation model (SEM). The 307 data was collected and analyzed to test the research question. The results show that the dimension of the media side's interactivity affected media's usage time and space perception. There are 2 ~ 2 factors variables to affect time and space. One is human and media interaction (HC1) and human to human communication (CMC); the other is traditional mass media (one-way communication) and interuet media (two-ways communication). The results prove the user's perception for media time and space is based on the levels of interactivity. The levels of interactivities depend on media usage: one-one, one-many, synchronous, asynchronous, interpersonal, and social network communication. Online media provides greater social space; while traditional media tends toward para-space perception. On the other hand, the users' time cognitions between online media are different such as fixed time versus cyber-time.展开更多

The space-time DG method developed in [29] is applied to solve the un-derlying problem. Unconditional L2-stability and error estimate of order O?τr+1+hk+1/2? are obtained when polynomials of degree at most r and k are used for the temporal dis-cretization and spatial discretization respectively. 2-D and 3-D numerical examples are given to validate the theoretical results. Moreover, numerical results show an ultra-convergence of order 2r+1 in temporal variable t.展开更多

As a result of the digital revolution, re-imaging and re-linkage public places by media are essential to create more interactions between public spaces and users, interaction media display, and urban screens, one of the most important defined media. This interaction can transform the urban space from being neglected to be more interactive space with users, specially the pedestrians. This paper aims to identify the effects of these new digital factors to transform public spaces, and the influences of large media display on the interaction between urban spaces and pedestrians. The paper focuses on Al-Thaqafa Street as one of the neglected spaces in Amman city, and attempts to analyse this street, explains its problems, and studies the influence of these new digital factors on its transformation, to be more active and vital by pedestrians.展开更多

文摘In 21st?century, media become the most important factor affecting the development of urban cities, including public places. As a result of the digital revolution, re-imaging and re-linkage public places by media are essential to create more interactions between public spaces and users, interaction media display, and urban screens, one of the most important defined media. This interaction can transform the urban space from being neglected to be more interactive space with users, specially the pedestrians. This paper aims to identify the effects of these new digital factors to transform public spaces, and the influences of large media display on the interaction between urban spaces and pedestrians. The paper focuses on Al-Thaqafa Street as one of the neglected spaces in Amman city, and attempts to analyse this street, explains its problems, and studies the influence of these new digital factors on its transformation, to be more active and vital by pedestrians.
