Abstract

The innovation of information and communication technology has brought the emergence of the digital economy in which the growing importance of the Internet for the production and consumption of information has caused a rapid increase of commercial domains. Domains are basic form of Internet address for the delivery of information, but the location of registered commercial domains is not free from a spatial context. Utilizing a database of commercial domain registrations, spatial statistical methods and GIS, the spatial dimensions of the commercial domains are explored for the city of Seoul. Through this research, it was found that the commercial domains were unevenly distributed, namely 44% of commercial domains are located at 3 Gus in Seoul. The locations of commercial domains by themselves represented a strong spatial autocorrelation among adjacent places. In order to identify factors affecting spatial variation in the development of the commercial domains among Dongs, a conditional spatial autoregressive model which effectively eliminates a spatial autocorrelation was used. As a result of this research, it is clearly shown that the selective location of firms having commercial domains and their role in economic activities are influencing the spatial structure of urban with dynamic mix of spatial characteristic.

정보통신기술의 급격한 혁신은 디지털 경제의 도래를 가져왔으며. 정보를 생산ㆍ소비하는데 있어서 인터넷의 중요성을 증대시켰을 뿐만 아니라 상업적 도메인의 급속한 증가를 가져왔다. 도메인이란 인터넷상에서 정보 전달을 위한 주소의 기능을 담당하지만, 실제로 등록된 도메인의 주소는 공간적 특성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상업적 도메인의 공간적 분석을 위해 도메인 등록 원시자료를 데이터베이스로 구축하여 공간통계와 지리정보체계를 활용하였다. 서울의 경우 상업적 도메인의 분포는 44%가 단지 3개 구에 집중되어 있을 정도로 매우 불균등하게 나타나고 있으며, 상업적 도메인이 입지한 장소들 간에는 강한 공간적 자기상관을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상업적 도메인의 공간적 변이에 영향을 주는 요인들을 추출하기 위해 공간적 자기상관을 효율적으로 제거할 수 있는 공간자기회귀모델을 사용하였다. 본 연구 결과, 상업적 도메인 업체들의 선별적 입지와 이들의 경제활동은 동태적인 공간 특성을 보여주면서 도시내부의 공간구조 변화에 영향을 미치고 있다.
