Abstract：In recent years, factors like the increase of urban residents' income and the changes of their lifestyle have correspondingly contributed to the changes of commercial entertainment places within the urban areas in terms of quantity, types and structure. These places mentioned above have accordingly become one of the outstanding marks of the urban residents' life quality in terms of social space, and the commercial fitness and entertainment places have in particular become the spatial carriers of fashionable modern life. As important measures of the urban residents' life quality, these fitness and entertainment places have become focuses on which different researches are being carried out by the academics at home and abroad. Despite the fact that researches on commercial entertainment places have reached the level of micro-location, systematic analysis of the social space structure for different industries or different levels of the same industry has not been accomplished yet. Furthermore, there exists a scarcity of researches on the interactive relationship between the entertainment places and the local residents, a scarcity of interpretation of the residents' subjectivity and a scarcity of the researches on the effect of the residents' subjective value, feelings and image on the commercial entertainment places.
Starting with a detailed conclusion of the researches on the theories of place theories and spatial conception of humanism at home and abroad, the authors introduce the concepts of Existentialism and Phenomenology into the researches on the urban commercial entertainment places by taking the angles of humanism first, and then illustrate how the place identity is produced through the interactions of human beings and space and social environment at large and how the feelings of locality and attachment are derived on the basis of the analysis of the relationship among the consumers' subjective values, feelings and perceptions and the time length and frequencies of the residents' consuming in the above places. Also, the authors claim that the creation of the locality of culture in a community should take into accounts the aspects of social space and local residents' experiences of their daily recreation and leisure as well. The ultimate goal for this research is therefore to figure out the perception structure and formation on the urban fitness and entertainment places and sincerely wish that it might attract the attention and relevant discussion on the urban fitness and entertainment places.
