Abstract：According to the noted foreign scholars and their ideological achievement regarding the sociology in geography, the paper mainly explores the thoughts and methodology of urban social life spaces, and tries to demonstrate with some conceptualized structural modes, serving the decomposing concepts for the recognition of the body composition of urban social life spaces and for further research. The whole article predicts from the ideology of sociology in geography researching social spaces, and the rules of research in the urban social life spaces it obtained represent the forefront of contemporary human geography. Based on the urban sociology in geography, the paper makes a deeper analysis of urban social life spaces with the following two conclusions:① The sociology in geography is the natural outcome of the combination of various factors, i. e. with the evolution of culture and politics and the advent of the post-industrial society, largely driven by economic development, human geography in western countries has taken on a new look in the constitution and evolutionary process of geographical space, from the environmental space to material space to economic space to cultural space and to social life space. This theory can be a touchstone of the overall theoretical development of human geography,② the key of sociology in geography is the establishment of the epistemology for the understanding of macro-space and micro-space, thus making a breakthrough from the restraints of agnosticism in urban micro-space. In the case study of specific regions, it can be extended to the analysis of such geographical problems as the structure of urban social life spaces. How does sociology in geography perform in the study of urban sociallife space is actually the frontier indication of human geography.
