After more than 300 years, because the establishment of high-speed railway station Wujih once again becomes the Space Syntax,which is fomnlated by Professor Bill Hillier, analyzes and discuses the spatial configurations and spatial relationships and their characteristics, in order to find the various of types experience of life and societies’ connotation which are hidden in space. For this study, we use the Space Syntax as the major method, and use the geographic information system as the spatial analysis software to analyze the change of the street types before and after the high-speed railway station districe plan was made. By first measuring the difference in the urban spaces created by the different types of street connections, this study is then able to discuss their influence on users and its related effects which produced by the change of urban spatial configurations. Therefore, we could find out the influences created when the new transportation system was added into traditional urban spatial configuration. The result shows that, in the past, different types of economic activity and space usage pattern, the main urban spaces that people used are concentrated around the main street and market places. When the new transportation system is introduced into the study area, the urban space usage pattern is expected to be transformed and the commercial activities will move to other areas according to the Space Syntax calculation. This reslt will make the urban development in the study area more balanced.
