摘要

With the deepening of the globalization,citizens have realized the mega-cities space elements largely through media,instead of all-over contact with real physical environment,and dominance hierarchy of urban functions constructed by all media has represented certain groups’selective transmission of space images.Taking downtown areas of Shanghai City for example,this study explored space images embodied in internet media on the basis of statistical analysis of place name frequency in the media texts.First,by reviewing relevant theories of media languages and city space image,media-based methods for collecting and analyzing space image were reviewed and sorted out,and theoretical bases for the space images embodied by different media were established and compared.Second,in empirical researches,word frequency of place names in economic news texts was calculated in terms of landmark constructions/buildings,roads,rivers,and sections,spatial accumulative calculation was adopted to describe space images of downtown areas in Shanghai.Third,differences and similarities of space images of these downtown areas in economic news reports and citizens’internet posts were further compared.
