Abstract：China is embracing an important transition period. In practice, the restructuring of urban space has become a general phenomenon. Development zone construction is one of the effective urban development approaches. Since the reform and opening up, a large number of development zones spring up from the coast to inland in Chinese cities and towns. Apart from industrial production, lots of them built residential areas, thus becoming a typical suburban community. Residents of different backgrounds live and work there. Taking Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA) as a case study, this paper conducts behaviorism methodology to study daily-activity space of community residents of BDA. The research is based on first-hand questionnaire data acquired from local residents, which focuses on revealing the separation pattern of living and commuting, space-oriented types of different shopping activities, as well as the spatial distribution of education, medical care and leisure activities. This paper tries to propose a research framework of action space based on general utility function with spatial variable, which is more comprehensive than those of before. As a result, this paper thus reveals that distance, preference, demand for service quality and improvement of transportation bring about demand changes, which, together with the joint effect of spatial distribution of market supply and government supply deficit, form the daily-activity space of community residents. According to the conclusion, for both government and residents, the contradiction between production and life is especially serious in the development zones, and their relations and relative importance also change in different stages. In addition service facilities and community development now are deeper influenced by policy, information, capital and labor changes.
