Abstract As the basic elements of life space, urban communities and service facilities are the basic places of residents' daily life. This paper firstly discusses the different methods of measuring accessibility, and chooses the minimum distance method to measure the accessibility of community service facilities. Residential land parcels of present land use map of Nanjing are adopted as the basic analytical unit to analyze accessibility in this paper, which is creative and different from previous studies. Four typical community service facilities are chosen as the analytic targets in this research, including education facilities, medical facilities, commercial facilities and parks and green lands. Then this paper analyzes the spatial pattern of access to community service facilities in Nanjing with GIS from two aspects:on the one hand it analyzes the spatial differentiation pattern of access to various community service facilities; on the other hand it researches the spatial differentiation pattern of the comprehensive accessibility of community service facilities. In order to analyze the influence of community service facilities' accessibility on residents' daily life more deeply, this research investigates two low income communities in urban fringe of Nanjing and four communities in inner city and new towns as references. The investigation contents include residential satisfaction, daily activities, community attachment and residential mobility through the methods of questionnaires and depth interviews. Then this paper analyzes the spatial deprivation of low income groups of urban fringe, and summarizes conceptual model of spatial deprivation of low income communities based on low community service facilities accessibility.
