Abstract:
Virtual agglomeration refers to the spatial concentration of virtual elements, and spatial attribution is the inherent attribution of agglomeration. Virtual elements are usually non-daily life information flows, mainly including information f lows based on productive transactions and those based on interests and significant social events. Virtual agglomeration is a continuous encryption process of virtual elements in specific physical spaces or virtual spaces. Physical places, virtual places and digital places are the main places where virtual agglomeration occurs, and the interaction process between physical and virtual spaces thus forms more diverse and complex types. Through the definition and classification of places and virtual agglomeration, as well as the empirical study of the interaction process between physical and virtual spaces, a unified and more explanatory theoretical framework has been formed, laying the foundation for further research on new urban and rural spaces.
