| Based on series of field research, the paper explores the street space and social qualities of Zhangwu village in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, China. Via analyzing the intrinsically relationship between its evolution of social relations system and development of public space in the community, the paper indicates the plight of the current rural planning and presents the idea of the core value of cohesion which lies in the development and continuation of social relations in rural communities.
