Abstract Community refers to a group of people living in a certain region with both social ideology and interests in common. It involves the concept of either sociology or geography. The spatial structure of community means the space make-up and changing features of inhabitants in a community,as well as such spatial forms as area distribution,productivity arrangement,land use and net formation. The thesis mainly probes into the basic features of spatial structure in both rural and urban Hui ethnic community in Ningxia and analyses the trend and process of changes in spatial structure in view of practical and theoretical methods.
