As a unique group in China's urbanization, "urban villager" is the concern of various parties of the society. From
"farmers" to "urban residents", urban villagers' means of production and life style change dramatically. At present, public
facility planning in urban villagers' community always fail to meet their particular demands. Taking PPGIS as an
instrument, the paper analyzes the present status of public facilities in urban villagers' community and the new demand
on public facilities from the changing production means and life style. The purpose is to put forward suggestions for
public facility setting in urban villagers' community and offer theoretic guidance and proposal for Wuhan new urban
areas. PPGIS is gradually being applied to social science researches in recent years. Through the integrated platform, it
can achieve the objective of communication, coordination, cooperation and collaboration of different interests. In this
research, ephemeral mapping, sketch mapping, scale mapping and aerial photographs are used to acquire spatial data of
public facilities and attribute data of urban villagers in their community. Through the comparison of data, the research
shows that while urban villagers in Wuhan new urban areas gradually accept city life, they inevitably maintain certain
rural habits and customs. Therefore, the public facility planning in this particular kind of communities can neither be
treated equal as countryside facility planning, nor simply adopt the practice in urban residential areas' planning; rather
the planning system should take into account facilities of different categories at all levels, communities of different types
and residential groups.
