本文主要目的在於嘗試一個新的都市消費空間結構理論。此一理論架構主要涵蓋四個觀念-(1)符號消費、(2)空間中心/邊緣結構關係與消費文化約擴散、(3)消費活動及其在日常生活中的功能與意議、以及(4)地區生態。這些觀念均以文化/空間相互整合的觀點為主軸而形成彼此影響、前後一貫的邏輯,試國對於都市消費空間結構現象在文化脈絡及社會涵構之中的結果有一更深入的解釋。
This paper attempts to construct a new theory on urban consumptive spatial structures. This theoretical construct includes four concepts-(l) Symbolic consumption, (2) The center/periphery relationship and cultural diffusion, (3) Consumption activities and their functions and significances on consumer's everyday life, and (4) Localized ecology. These concepts interact and become a congruent logic in the observation of culture/space integration. Upon this new theoretical construct a more realistic interpretation on the outcomes of phenomena of urban consumptive spatial structures in the urban cultural and social context can hopefully be developed
