随着21世纪的IT（信息技术）革命，许多城市都发展了强大的基础设施通信网络。据估计，良好的通信网络将减少人们对旅行的需求。因此，交通量的减少将导致运输能耗的减少。本研究的目的是调查由于ICT支持的通信基础设施的增强而导致的旅行活动变化所产生的环境影响。我们对信息通信技术的使用与人口流动之间的关系进行了初步研究。采用回归分析进一步分析了对环境的影响。这项研究旨在提供一些信息，说明信通技术对环境的潜力。
With the IT (Information Technology) Revolution in the 21thcentury, many cities have developed strong infrastructural communication networks. It is expected that well-built communication networks will diminish people’s need for traveling. Subsequently, the decreased traffic would lead to reduced energy consumption in transport. The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental impact resulting from changes in traveling activities as a result of an enhanced communication infrastructure supported by ICTs. We have made a preliminary study to examine the relations between the use of ICTs and people’s mobility. The impact on the environment was further analyzed using regression analysis. This study aims to provide some information about the potential of ICTs on the environment.
