At present, transformation of City Village in Lanzhou is in full swing, the pre-pilot transformation has been successfully achieved. Transformation of City Village in Lanzhou adopted the construction of the resettlement mode of sub-procurement. The central resettlement of villagers/residents in City Village retains its former quality, therefore, to make its residence space different from that of other groups in city. But how does the transformation of City Village influence the quality of villagers'/ residents' life? What kind of change will take place after the transformation?The paper conducted the specific survey and the analysis on the multidimensional aspects of questions which influence the quality of villagers'/ residents' life, such as balance of payments, employment, leisure life, living conditions, traffic conditions, the situation of social interaction, and welfare condition, which is based on a large number of papers at home and abroad, on the basis of relevance to the sociology of the survey methodology as the guide, selecting the settlement pinots in Yintan Street and KongJia'ai of Anning district in Lanzhou as sample points, by the issuance of a questionnaire and a form of depth interviews. The results showed that:(1) After transformation of city village, villagers/residents tend to cluster in low, medium high-income groups, but all increase expenditures;(2)Land and property before transformation have influenced their employment while after transformation, the randomicity, fluidity, provisionality, irregularity of their employment are further enhanced;(3)Relationships between social networks of the villagers/residents before and after the transformation are formed by blood and geo-social acquaintances, in the face of difficulties, there is no breakthrough in the search for blood relatives to support the framework of a wide range of social ties and the adaptability is not strong, the life support systems are still not perfect; as a result of the transformation of the points after the merger of the residents, the majority of residents have been very difficult for the reconstruction of the original harmony of the neighborhood, the original interaction between neighbors, the establishment of emotional links and mutual sense of identity for a long time have gradually vanish;(4)The villagers/residents have abundant leisure time after transformation, mainly reads and watches television, after the transformation, city civilization life styles, for example internet and fitness, start to enter the village people's life, butmeanwhile the recreational activity increased------play mahjong, play cards and playchess;(5) Before transformation, detached houses are major forms of dwelling with large living spaces and courtyards being important activity places; cellular houses become major forms of dwelling. After transformation, the community living environment is improved, but the spaces of dwelling and activity are being separated and reducing, as a result of the enlargement of neighborhood space;(6)After transformation, the traffic condition has been greatly improved, hence the convenience. However, some old people think it is inconvenient because of the disparity in the plan and stereo-houses.(7)The villagers/ residents know the policies of transformation of city village, and are higher satisfaction, but they are unsatisfied to the welfare, because the social security systems about villagers'/ residents' are establishing after transformation. They are eager to be able to join the social security system.
