| Abstract: |
| The rapid development of information technology has profoundly impacted people’s
lifestyles, leading to the emergence of virtual spaces. As consumers’ methods for obtaining
information about specific goods and services have evolved, the research scope of physical
commercial centers has expanded from traditional physical spaces to virtual spaces. This shift has
significantly altered the actual services provided by physical commercial centers and the factors
influencing consumer travel behavior. Existing studies indicate that electronic word-of-mouth
(eWOM), as a critical indicator of the popularity of virtual spaces, is closely linked to the built
environment.
However, the planning of urban commercial centers needs to focus on the characteristics and
influencing factors of commercial spaces from a physical space perspective. Existing studies have
not yet fully addressed the factors influencing physical commercial centers in the context of the
coexistence of virtual and physical spaces. The availability of emerging internet location big data
and eWOM data offers the potential to explore how virtual spaces impact physical spaces. By using
the results of these two types of big data in correspondence, this study reveals the impact of virtual
spaces on consumers' actual consumption and travel behavior at commercial centers, providing new
opportunities for investigating the influencing factors of urban commercial centers in the coexistence
of virtual and physical spaces.
Therefore, this study selected 29 different physical commercial centers in the Main Urban
Area of Shanghai as the research objects, with electronic word-of-mouth representing the attributes
of virtual space, built environment representing the attributes of physical space, and competitive
effectiveness representing the actual utility of the competition of service area of physical commercial
centers. The role of eWOM and the built environment on physical commercial centers is explored
utilizing internet location big data and eWOM data. It aims to identify the influencing factors of
virtual space eWOM and physical space built environment in the service area of commercial centers
from a competitive perspective.
The competition intensity and effectiveness of commercial centers in the main urban area are
first measured using internet location big data, exploring the competitive characteristics of their
service areas. Secondly, using electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) data, it extracted two indicators,
network composite rating and the quantity of high-quality word-of-mouth, through principalcomponent analysis. These indicators reflect the relationship between the position of commercial centers in the virtual space represented by eWOM and their
actual competitive effectiveness, measuring the impact of virtual space on physical commercial centers. Finally, regression analysis is employed to explore
the influence of physical space factors such as building scale, land area, diversity of POI (points of interest), POI quantity, the number of subway lines, and
the number of parking spaces; and virtual space factors such as network composite rating and the quantity of high-quality word-of-mouth on the competitive
effectiveness of commercial centers.
It is found that, in the current socio-economic context, the service area of physical commercial centers is influenced by both the built environment
of physical spaces and the virtual spaces represented by eWOM. Among the virtual space attributes represented by eWOM, high-quality word-of-mouth
focused on stores that receive widespread acclaim. When a commercial center contains several specific stores with numerous positive online reviews and
recommendations, the influence on consumer decision-making is more direct and significant. Therefore, among virtual space attributes, the number of highquality
word-of-mouth can significantly enhance the competitive effectiveness of a commercial center. In contrast, the overall network composite rating does
not have a direct influence. Regarding the built environment attributes of physical spaces, commercial centers with a higher diversity of commercial formats
often provide a richer and more convenient selection of services and goods. The number of parking spaces also reflects the quality of service to some extent.
Thus, the diversity of commercial formats and the number of parking spaces play important roles among the built environment factors. In contrast, traditional
factors such as building scale and land area no longer significantly influence on physical commercial centers.
Therefore, to adapt to the current coexistence of virtual and physical commercial spaces, urban planning must further explore the dual effects of virtual
and physical space attributes on physical commercial centers, constructing an urban commercial space structure that accommodates the interaction between
virtual spaces and physical commercial centers. Additionally, the application of spatiotemporal big data to explore the mutual influence of virtual and
physical space attributes supports enhancing the scientific and effective decision-making in urban commercial space planning in the current coexistence of
virtual and physical spaces. |
