In this study, temporary migrants i.e. college students are chosen as the research targets. Through studying their live experiences in different urban area, we can explore whether the urban characteristic shaped in the urban area make urban inhabitants express specific living pattern. There are three parts in empirical research. First, 22 countries of Taiwan were classified according to urban physical factors by cluster analysis. Secondly, a questionnaire survey was conducted in order to compare the changes of perceptions of public realms and the lifestyles of temporary migrant students in their original-living and temporary-living cities. Finally, the influence of the differences of urban characteristics from students’ subjective perception on the adjustment of temporary migrant life would be identified. According to empirical survey results, it is difficult to recognize urbanity of certain cities by inhabitants’ perceptions of public realms, only if comparing the difference of temporary migrant students from different cities before and after moving to the same temporary-living city. Relatively speaking, lifestyle could be the comparable object for subsequent research to study different urbanities of cities. Limited with research time and resource, the descriptions of urbanity in each study city in the study are limited accordingly. However, through this primary analysis and investigation, the study results may contribute as a reference in future urbanity research.
