Abstract  Spatial behavior may reflect individual implicit psychological structure and the opportunity of interaction with others. Therefore, the spatial behavior of migrant children can reveal the status and problems of their urban integration. The existing research is mainly based on economic, political and cultural aspects of the adult's integration into the city. However, there is a lack of further research on the juvenile population such as migrant children, and previous analysis seldom touches upon their spatial behavior. Based on the discussion on mechanism of immigrants' urban integration and the activity diary survey of students in a primary school, the study explores the features of migrant children's after-school spatial behavior and its possible influence on their urban integration. It shows that participating in social and political life is essential for immigrants to integrate into cities, and it's necessary for migrant children to interact with local urban children. The activity types of migrant children are also monotonous, and the tendency of intra-group communication is obvious. The "segregated" pattern of spatial behavior limits their perception of the city and the depth of communication with urban children.
