  • Abstract
    Online shopping is a new research object of human geography, and has important research value to geography. This paper attempts to systematically reveal online shopping mechanism of spatial organization from angles of geocyberspace and space of flows; meanwhile, take TaoBao as examples, to detailedly analyze their operation mode and the affecting factors of spatial organization. Research shows: Online shopping is the result of interaction between geographical space and cyberspace, which is through a link between the two sides of supply and demand across time and space by cyberspace and a reorganization of the traditional shopping process, to use a wide range of information flow and logistic flow to replace the original people flow and capital flow, and thus to extend the spatial extent of the supply and demand from the daily behavior to the country and the globe, and this logistic flow is a modern logistics flow under the guidance of information flow.
