Description
Summary:Worldwide, the uses of information and communications technology (ICT) have been evolving dramatically every day. One of the most critical applications of ICT has emerged, namely e-commerce. As e-commerce adds new dimensions to commercial activity, consumers’ behavior towards traditional commercial activities inevitably changes. This review article analyzes the impact of e-commerce on traditional commercial activities. It extends to investigate the manifestation of the changes associated with the development of commercial activity based on the characteristics gained from informatics. Reviewing relevant literature yielded a newly suggested approach for the planning and the design of commercial activities. This approach ensured the integration and sustainability of e-commercial activities in virtual spaces and traditional commercial activities in urban areas to form a more suitable model for users' needs under the influence of informatics. Arguing the significant presence of this approach motivate urban planners and designers to design better commercial centers.
