Peri-urbanization: A study from ICT perspective

Abstract

With the vast expansion of ICT infrastructures, information are being openly shared and exchanged among individuals, companies, and governments. This study delves to define how ICT might have opened up new possibilities for urban practices into peri-urban area and affected the peri-urban areas. It is suggested that ICT have allowed paradigm shift into information economy and modern agglomeration; ICT have aspired and enabled people to migrate to peri-urban area; ICT affected the identity and perception of peri-urban places by the way it is represented in online world; and ICT brings the influence of urban to people outside urban areas and allows sociocultural transformation.
