Abstract

Promoting space reproduction and self-development is the key to renew the old communities. The old communities have accumulated intrinsic value of daily-life，enriched social capital and “one kind of order under a surface informal disorder” spatial production from seemly unorganized daily-life. Point to this，from the perspective of daily-life, this paper explains spatial production order of daily-life in informal public spaces. Then，it uses semantic mining and LDA topic-model in the field of natural language，to establish the method for identifying informal public spaces by perceiving residents' daily-life activities and discovering social capital. Finally，taking the old city in Xindu District of Chengdu as an example，the paper proposes an approach of scenarioized and formal governance for informal public spaces， which provides a self-development planning path for old communities renewal planning.
