Purely spatial construction could not solidify locals daily life, neither could revive local life function. In addition, it might weaken local life feature and construction of interior social network. It should develop upon Daily Life Behaviour and to consider how local actors (Groups) to reassemble daily life environment and reform life culture which is belonged to and recognised by local actors through reuniting diverse factors within different time dimension within current Space. All those factors allow local culture could be inherit also allow participants could integrate/ be affected, that is the concept of Meme.
