中文摘要：

城市边缘社会区域社区的地理现象和空间分化与构成及其规律研究，是国际城市（社会）地理学界的基本研究属性和要解决的重要问题之一。自1970年代以来，西方发达国家学术界已对城市边缘社区从经济、土地和社会空间因素等方面进行了大量的理论研究和有益的实践应用，国内学术界结合相关案例从城市边缘社会区域空间演化、居住流动等方面进行了实证性研究。在快速城市化背景下，我国大城市边缘社会区域社区正面临生态、公平、经济、交通和社会压力的多重挑战。文章以近年来西安城市边缘正在形成的典型社区为例，从多元化视角研究其现实发展，构建多样化、包容性和充满选择空间的城市边缘社会区域社区发展理论。

英文摘要：

Community geographical phenomena in city edge social areas and the research of the rules in space differentiation and formation have always been the basic research problems for the academia of international urban geography. Since the 1970s, the academia in western advanced countries has done much theoretical research in city edge social areas from the perspectives of economy, land, and social space, and the theories have already been applied in practice. China＇ s domestic academia also has done much empirical study in the aspects of social space evolvement and residential mobility in city edge areas. Whereas, most big city edge social areas are facing multiple challenges in ecology, equity, economy, transportation, and social pressure with China＇ s rapid urbanization. So, it is of great necessity to research the community development in big city edge social areas from a pluralistic perspective. The present thesis aims at constructuring a diversified, inclusive, and full-choice spatial community development theory in city edge social areas by researching the practical development of Xi＇an city edge social areas from a pluralistic angle.
