Abstract: As an important field of post urbanization development, traditional villages have become the space resources for competition.
This paper analyzes the process of social space reconstruction of traditional villages from the perspective of territorialization, and studies
the relationship between spatial production and power in traditional villages, which provides suggestions for the "urban regeneration" of
Dongguan. The research shows that: different domain subjects（administrative domain, market domain, social domain）dominate the
development of traditional villages in different periods; in order to consolidate their own discourse power and interests, the domain
behaviors exercised by the participants have gone from exclusion to competition and then to cooperation. Under certain interests, the
domain subject will transform into another interest subject, forming a dual domain identity. In order to prevent the unbalanced spacepower
structure from affecting the regulation and development of the village, it is necessary to formulate strategies for the governance of
the multi-subject social space as soon as possible.

Key words: territorialization, territorial politics, social space, development and reconstruction, traditional villages, Dongguan
