Abstract: The fusion of virtuality and reality has transformed the combined online and offline service provision, altering residents lifestyles and reconfiguring the layout of community facilities. This shift helps enhance quality of life, ensure equitable access to services, facilitate service allocation, and shape an ideal life circle centered around residences. To this end, this paper explores the concept of the online and offline community life circle by drawing insights from the existing literature. It proposes three major functional characteristics, namely, equalization of services that transcends spatial and temporal barriers, provision of high-level services beyond community limitations, and facilitation of work-life integration to support the development of telecommuting. The paper also predicts two major morphological evolutions, specifically, the expansion of flexible living spaces and living circle boundaries through remote services, and the declining importance of community centers due to the principle of"big dispersion and small agglomeration" and service planning.Furthermore, the paper proposes a "4-layer and 8-category" facility configuration system, incorporating the nature and intensity of service needs to achieve performance levels of"on‐ line real-time—5-minute arrival—15-minute arrival—30-minute door-to-door". Drawing from case studies, the paper introduces guidelines for facility planning and applies the proposed planning methodology to the design of the"15-minute" service circle for Guanggu Scientific Island, along with policy recommendations.
