Abstract: City space image has important practical value for the management and planning of city space, and so on, which provides an important perspective to explain the interaction between city residents and environment. Foreign academia have been studying city space image for years and achieved numerous research outputs in both theory and practice, while domestic research has just begun. Firstly, the research progress on city space image at home and abroad is reviewed in detail based on the databases of CNKI and Elsevier Science Direct. Secondly, this paper compares the similarities and differences of researches on city space image at home and abroad in three aspects: 1) research perspectives;2) core contents and focuses of research; and 3) emphasis and research methods. Finally, this paper also puts forward the trend on development prospect of the study on city space image in future. This paper aims to provide important references for research of domestic city space image.

摘要： 城市空间意象为解释城市中居民与城市环境相互作用提供了重要研究视角，对城市空间管理与环境规划具有重要的实践指导价值。在系统查阅国内外相关文献的基础上，首先概述了国内外城市空间意象研究进展，认为国外学术界对城市空间意象的研究比较深入，在理论和实践上都有许多成果，而国内的相关研究才刚刚起步；然后从研究的学科视角、核心内容、热点与重点、研究方法等四个方面比较分析了国内外城市空间意象研究的异同；在此基础上，从城市空间意象特征的动态分析和对比分析、城市意象空间营造的理论与方法问题等层面提出了未来深入研究的方向，希望对国内城市空间意象研究有所启示。
