Abstract  With the rapid development of China, urban spatial expansion and the rise of suburban center brings about the evolution of the polycentric urban structure. This article is based on a GPS-based activity survey in Beijing in 2012, applies a time-geographic research framework, using a whole week of activity dairy and their GPS trajectory as the data foundation. By analyzing the commuting features of 229 samples of suburb workers in Shang-di information industrial park with the methodology of time-geography, studies have shown that:1) The fast growing surburban employment center attracts mainly well-educated、unmarried young groups, of whom lateral commuters take up the most and outward commuters the least; 2) Among three types of commuters, lateral comuters are believed to live an "active suburbanization" lifestyle, who are typical "Nine to Six" workers with larger living space, high tendency to work overtime and longest commuting time, this group might shows the substantive features as surburban workers; 3) Outward commuters, which was a result caused by the new types of spatial mismatch of city structure, have to make passive adjustment to employment suburbanization, whose living space shapes like dual-core (based on home and working site). They relies on public transpotation most, living a "staggered shifts"and "early departure and late return" lifestyle. 4) job-housing balanced commters enjoy the convenience short job-housing distance, sharing a "late departure and early return" lifestyle but strongly likely to be isolated in the center of the suburbs.
