From The Fast Food Supply To The Public Space

The essay focus on the problem of City Space. From the perspective of sociology, I choose the KFC in the neighborhoods of Shanghai XT Community to be my research object. It's a qualitative research with a long time field observations of the KFC.On the base of observation records, I research and analyze this particular space with the qualitative interviews and related literature, in order to find the role of the KFC in residents living of this block. The essay will talk from several parts, such as the background of the block, customers' use and rebuilding of the KFC, roles change of KFC, the response to the roles change of KFC, being the public space and so on. I try to explore the interaction between the KFC and the customers in it, and discuss the roles change by this interaction and the theories behind it.
