摘　　要：移动信息技术成为21世纪信息化发展的新趋势,以微博为代表的新型网络社区成为当前人们重要的社交网络平台。本文尝试通过将微博用户的网络信息关系与地理关联,分析这一新型网络信息空间的地理特征、表现形式及其原因。研究发现:网络信息空间中的地域根植性仍然存在,表现为本地域的信息联系在网络信息空间中占据了主体地位,网络信息联系呈现出一定的距离衰减现象;网络信息联系与实际社会经济联系的相对一致性,表现为网络信息联系强度与社会经济发展水平的相对一致性,网络信息联系格局与社会经济发展总体格局的相对一致性;网络信息空间中的等级差异性,表现为网络信息联系强度的等级性,以及网络信息联系的不对称性。Along with a new development trend of mobile information technology, nowadays people can even communicate with others at anytime and anywhere with any devices. Micro-blog, as one of the most important social network platforms, has experienced vigorous growth and now becomes one of the most popular Internet applications in China. Although micro-blog has become a hotspot of research in areas such as computer and sociology, there have been relatively few studies from the perspective of geography. Compared with the existing researches on cybergeography mainly focused on network infrastructure used to simulate the influence of information, the research based on micro-blog users＇ relationship will undoubtedly reflect interpersonal communication more directly, thus help to analyze the impact of information on interpersonal social network. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze cybergeography based on micro-blog users＇ relationship. The study firstly selects 100 micro-blog users in Nanjing and collects these users＇ followers, followings, friends, and their geospatial information. Then it analyzes the geographical features, forms and the reasons. The results are obtained as follows. （1） The role of distance still acts in the network information space, for a certain distance attenuation phenomenon still exists in network information contact. And the amount of network information contact with these selected users in Jiangsu province occupies the largest part of the country＇s total, while this figure in Nanjing city also occupies most parts of the total in Jiangsu Province. （2） The network information contact is well consistent with the actual social-economic contact, for not only the strength of network information shows a relative consistence with the social-economic development, but also the pattern of network information contact shows a relative consistence with the overall pattern of social-economic development. （3） The network information space also shows an obvious hierarchy, for not only the stren
