Abstract：International students will experience culture shock when they move to a new place with different culture. The perception of the urban space is the reflection of acculturation. In another words, they will never choose the space that they are not belonged to. So, acculturation is following the "space-behavior" geographical research themes explicitly and implicitly. It is growing to be the significant mission for the geographer to construct a generalized theory explaining the interaction between space and behavior of international students. Based on the theoretical foundation of social-space, behavioral geography, time geography, this study was aimed to explore the relationship between acculturation and urban space. One hundred and twenty six Chinese students in Birmingham completed questionnaires, which assessed three dimensions including acculturation, individual behavioral data, and attributes. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) There were no many barriers about language and customs in students' lives. 2) In this case, four modes of acculturation strategies including integration, separation, assimilation and marginalization were divided. 3) The space was the result of the low level of acculturation and then the space of segregation and overlap would hinder acculturation.
