Research On The Impact Of Information Technology On The Change Of Urban Inhabitable Space

Since the 1990s, information technology and the transportation entities together have promoted the free flow and reasonable allocation of labor, capital and other core elements in the global context with the increasing development and wide application of information technology. China’s urbanization has become a extremely eye-catching pearl in the progress of global urbanization; however, it has also generated many problems such as significant regional differences and urban space resource waste domestically. In China, large and medium-sized cities are seeking a way of supporting the urban sustainable development under the guidance of the new type of urbanization. Therefore, digital city and smart city that centered on information technology are becoming the best choice of adjusting development mode for a lot of cities, among which Nanjing Hexi new town’s exploratory construction is extraordinarily representative. Meanwhile, information technology is affecting the governance mode of urban space in many aspects, besides of its influences on optimizing urban space.First of all, the research makes a review and a conclusion of reserches on areas such as information technology, urban space and new town. Moreover, it sorts out the information city theory, urban space organization theory and new town theory, which serve as the theoretical basis and technical support of the research. GIS analytical method is applied to analyze the expansion changes of Hexi new town’s inhabitable space and urban residents’ distribution from 2001 to 2010. Besides, the paper analyzes by using the questionnaire data elaborated IT for inhabitable space evolved mechanisms influence, and from the residents’ needs perspective IT influence their choice of residence. Subsequently, the stage of development of Hexi New Town inhabitable space are analyzed, and the impact of information technology on the evolution of urban living space mechanisms. Then, based on the above empirical analysis, the study of policy and planning, information technology-related industries, market supply and demand, intelligent transportation, housing and other aspects of the quality of the analysis of the evolution of the impact of information technology on various factors. Finally, in the conclusion and discussion, it concludes the opinions of the paper and further points out the limitatitions of the research.The following four conclusions are drawn through the research:(1) the spatial pattern of inhabitable through the Hexi New Town comparison, the northern region of inhabitable space in Hexi New Town between 2001-2010, less expansion, the central region is to expand the inhabitable space up to change a few years, southern Changes to expand inhabitable space area is also relatively high, although the change in the value of most of the area is low, but there are three very rapid changes in the nuclear area; (2) IT’s impact on urban residents choose to live does exist, mainly access to information and choice in housing and other aspects of housing considerations, while Metro residents information tools using horizontal spatial distribution characteristics similar distribution also exists residential land; evolution (3) The history of Hexi New Town inhabitable space can be divided into cities suburbs period, with "lying city" functions as a single functional satellite towns and cities during the period. These three stages, the role of information technology in the evolution of inhabitable space in the Metro also continue to highlight; (4) research from four major areas of information technology infrastructure, IT-related industries, as well as intelligence community’s building and other related subjects’ restructuring elaborates Hexi New Town inhabitable space optimization for appropriate development strategies and priorities.
