Abstract Internal perception of the space image is derived from the external objective existence, and can also affect the external objective world. Based on the case of Enning Road in Guangzhou city, this research compared the street space perception of different stakeholders through the mathematic statistical method, and found the significant differences on space image among three types of stakeholders which are local residents, tourists and merchants. With Semantic Differential method as the analysis tools, this research found that the space perception of tourists were better than residents and merchants, what's more, space perception of tourists, which regarded it as quiet, clean, suitable for walking, were also more alike the features of this history neighborhood. Thirdly, in the aspect of cognition maps, residents, tourist and merchants have their own functional demands for the street hence stakeholders' cognition maps were retorted and stretched intensively. Since all modification methods will inevitably have certain influence to traditional blocks, in the essence of the social from all walks of life, more attention have been focused on traditional scenes of Ening road which is regarded as the city public interest for future generations. However, as social groups become increasingly under the trend of differentiation, how to define the public interest of city space for the evaded subjects is a serious problem, especially for the traditional blocks which are difficult to carry on the quantitative evaluation on the typical character. In the era of media information highly developed, the government's decision of redevelopment of historic blocks are difficult to really accepted by many stakeholders.
