By data-analysis from questionnaire and action-representation from interviews, this paper shows social change of city- village fringe -Dong via static social-state and dynamic spatial practice two respects. In this paper, how to avoid inequality and injustice during the process of social space's production and regeneration has been discussed in order to endure that every member will has fair space treatment, especially for these vulnerable groups.By arranging the related literature about Urban-Rural fringe, we got some inspiration about this study, but there are still some shortcomings of their research: These papers are lack of "deep texture" of abstraction and structure perspective in the study of social-state. And they are lack of "consistent" academic context and theoretical logic in the research of subject practice. They are also lack of appeal subject and analysis for the process of social-state and spatial practice. Therefore, this paper takes village Dong as typical case, combines quantitative research with quantitative research, and reappears the three main groups' mutual construction process of social-space and social-state by using oral history research. Putting the "social-state, "spatial practice" and "subjectivity" into the specific space context, this paper analyzes the formation process and the results of city- village fringe, examines its inherent structure and the social fabric so that to give it a new theory meaning, and make us have a new and deeper understanding of the implementation mechanism in the healthy development of city- village fringe.Taken space theory as clue, this paper arranged theoretical context of western urban sociology and hold that, space theory isn't the turn of urban sociology, but penetrates into all long. In vertical direction, space theory has experienced the transition from maintaining surviving to maintaining rights in space. Comparing with classical urban sociology's concerning on space order, 60s has been the colorful ten years integrating rights into space theory. After 70s, Marxist urban sociology sprung, focusing on space study, inspected capitalism's production process and production relations during politics, economy and culture. Peeling off empty and obscure in space rights, the Marxist urban sociology has been looking for the way so that personal space rights could be true justly. Being different from this grand narrative, the study indicates further that, the principle of justice should be respected by space practice leading to space justice, during the process of space justice, space allocation, space exchange and space consumption. Also it analysis the traditional and contemporary of social-state theory. Compared to the society type,it considers that social-state can better reflect the dynamic situation in complex mixture, and the superposition state of traditional and modern society,agrarian and industrial society. It can overcome the binary opposition and the purity way in the dipartition of social type. The author stressed that the social-state and spatial practice can not be simply measured by object and subject, subject action is the connection center between them, and they restraint, promote, affect each other mutually. It can reform the social-state constantly through the space production, space allocation, space exchange and space consumption practices, social-state also determine the way and content of spatial practice at the same time.This paper generalized social-state of village-Dong in academic basing on data-analysis from questionnaire and action-representation from interviews. Thus, this paper summarizes four characteristic as follows: first of all, the transition from village to city, which is showed by physical scenery and social ecological. The second change from quiescence to flowing, which leads to sense of belonging to home have gone. Thirdly, from one to binary, which is reflected by transformation of community management. The forth, the tendency from heterogeneous to homogeneous, it means that bottom of village-Dong has structured.Practice in the space analysis, the foreign population in the urban-rural spatial practice can be seen as a spontaneous self-dimensional plan of modernity and urban-rural community like providing them with state of the free flow of space and identity opportunities for the transition. They have access to low-cost housing and living of consumer space for a foothold to the edge of space for the production of informal employment to obtain follow-up to life support. During the exchange of space industry, although the construction of the geographical and geopolitical formation of social relations are temporary, but it is relatively useful for network reconfiguration, and what can not be overlooked is the space behind the practice, which they are subject to self-identity and recycling pain. Local villagers regard the city and countryside intersection as a tool of available space. With the psychological attitude of "good weather", they open new room around their own houses. This production of space for rent to obtain benefits is under a certain of speculation, which is hoping to occupy the space, sharing space land and bringing income.The face of housing demolition, some villagers fight for space protest with the type of "rogue", which embodied the rights of local villagers, the weak position of space and lack of consultation up and down the buffer space and information channels and which also resulted the potential disorder of the space conflict behind in urban-rural and orderly daily life.The community superintendents in the capital spatial reproduction process, regard the city and countryside intersection's space as the benefit spaces, what pays attention to the coordinated and the participation caused by the benefit pattern that the city and countryside intersection's spatial transformation produces, by the official document words explanation, the village hidden rule's utilization as well as united the majority of benefit consistency to shield"him", has achieved the strategic target of"an inch place did not lose"; In the land collection, regarding the local villagers counterparts' resistance, by"the operating post receiving in exchange for land","tows","disintegrates mobilizes the outstanding person""to seek the valid text"and so on many methods ,which comforts to facilitate the objection compromise, but wish's tensity between the national collection mechanism, the compensation standard and local villagers exists as before. For collective land rental income due to rent-seeking behavior generated petitions, community manager reasonably response to a higher level of inspectors, but the lack of fair and transparent procedure for the collective land space is still difficult to prevent the consumption of collective land rental income loss.Either as bottom external groups and local residents, or as the community managers of elite groups, they rarely consider urban-rural districts as home of life to contribute, often drawing interests in the process of changing the space of the urban fringe, this orientation of space practice which leads to the collapse of traditional collective consciousness is difficult to rebuild a new collective consciousness, under the influence of the absence of collective consciousness, people living in the urban fringe lack of the joint forces of the impact of modernity, difficult to maintain their own rights in the living space, education space, employment space, communication space, consumer interest in space and other aspects of space, becoming the bottom of the individual in the urban fringe, the urban fringe is becoming a rootless society. In the space of lack in the collective consciousness and personal space rights weakening, through the flow of public nature and the new collective identity reconstruction and other social roots projects, the state rebuild the collective consciousness of urban and rural areas combination; Individuals act from the edge of space to core of space, so that the urban fringe residents have the ability to force injustice of the space practice compromise with people below, in order to achieve the space interests of the urban fringe. In the end, the author of Utopian visions fusion Rawls conception of justice consider that the spatial the principles of justice can be extended to "people-oriented production of space, open and transparent space allocation, free and equal space exchange, health and appropriate space consumption" to resist capital duplication in any space, seeking replaceable program.
