With the rapid urbanization and industrialization process during the last three decades, traditional Chinese rural villages had been reshaped in different directions. On the one hand, most of the traditional agriculture-dominated villages are gradually declining and becoming blighted by depopulation and the abandonment of buildings and land, which is called “village-hollowing”. On the other hand, with the introduction and development of various industries in rural areas, some new types of villages (industry-dominated rural development type (IDT), rural development type focusing on business, tourism and services industries (BTT), and balanced rural development type (BDT)) are constantly emerging and have become the main form of rural urbanization in China. However, all of the transfermation process is alike in the reconstruction of the social space. Social-spatial reconstruction is also a significant component of the study on rural transformation development (RTD), among which tourism villages are an important type. Integrating the methods of participatory rural assessment (PRA), GIS spatial analysis and remote sensing images, this study performs an analysis of the social-patial evolution process of tourism villages, through a case study of Gougezhuang village, in Yesanpo tourism area, Hebei province, China. In the paper, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using primary and secondary data sources, including policy documents, journal articles, land-use map (1:2000) in 2007 provided by local governments and high spatial resolution remote sensing image from Google earth. The results indicate that Gougezhuang village had gone through a drastic social reconstruction from 1985 to 2012, with the traditional rural community based on kinship gradually transforming to a tourist town based on economic benefits. This reconstruction was manifested in the following three aspects: (i) From the perspective of physical space, private space is decreasing from 95% to 15% of the total area, while the semi-public and public space for tourism purpose is increasing, form 0 to 76%; besides, as to the residential pattern, traditional enclosed courtyard is gradually disappearing, displaced by the open multi-storey building. (ii) From the perspective of demographic composition and social relations, the massive population influx represented by tourists, tourism employees and investors had resulted in the substantial alteration of rural social structure, exhibiting an obvious trend of spatial polarization as well. The rural community relationship based on blood lineage is continuously weakened and replaced by more complicated commercial leasing and employment relationship. (iii) The income gap is constantly widening, fostering the formation and discrimination of social classes among rural communities. The rapid tourism development and massive immigration dominated by tourists are the major external driving forces of the rural social stratum discrimination and social relation reconstruction. In addition, the micro-scale location condition, such as the traffic condition and landscape quality, has further intensified the spatial discrimination of social structure and relationship. The social spatial morphology of tourism villages, in essence, can be seen as the transitional form between urban and rural communities, presenting periodic characteristics due to the seasonality of tourism activities. Apparently, the traditional management system is not able to effectively support tourism development in an export-oriented rural community generally engaged in providing tourism services, which will hinder the sustainable development of rural tourism and tourism village development. Thus, corresponding with the social spatial reconstruction of tourism villages, the establishment of new-type community management system, regulation of tourism industrial practice and reconstruction of rural community culture are urgent for the sustainable development of tourism villages.
