摘　　要：从技术与经济的角度入手,在已有的文献资料基础上,对互联网的经济地理学研究进展进行了总结和评述。互联网技术条件下,新空间的产生孕育了新地理学的浮现。文章从互联网的技术基础设施、数码空间区隔、互联网内容产业和电子商务等四个方面总结了互联网经济地理学的研究动态及主要观点。最后还重新审视了网络空间和地理空间之间的相互辨证关系,并提供了进一步研究的方向。The spatial diffusion of Intemet technology remains starkly uneven at all scales. Geography matters online activities, after all, have certainly not been killed by the Interact. In fact, the two seem to be getting along rather well. In recent years, the academic research on Internet has been becoming popular in many fields such as economic geography. In fact, a new sub-discipline of geography that focuses on the study of virtual spaces of the digital world, or cyber-geography, is exploding on numerous fronts. There are three broad, dominating perspectives identified by geographers. They are the ＇substitution and transcendence＇ perspective, the ‘co-evolution＇ perspective and the ‘recombination＇ perspective. Furthermore, the economic geography of Interact encompasses a wide range of geographical phenomena. There are four aspects highlighted in this paper, including： 1） the structure and location patterns of network physical infrastructure; 2） digital divide and its spatial impact on global society; 3） the distribution and structure of the supply and demand of Interact content industries, and 4） the organizational and spatial strategies for e-commerce and the interaction between electronic space and local economic space. Based on the above reviews, this paper discusses the dialectical relationship between geographic and virtual space. The geographical difference of Interact activities is an historic dependency on ‘real＇ places. Thus, real and virtual places are increasingly interdependent. Finally, some suggestions on further research are given.
