Abstract: in order to explore the construction of sports space and how to promote the integration of urban and rural development through sports space construction, this paper adopts literature research methods, spatial analysis methods, spatial statistics methods, cluster analysis methods, visual analysis methods and other research methods, taking Zhaoqing City as an example, This paper examines the characteristics of sports space construction and its role in urban-rural integration development from the perspective of spatial geography. The study found that, in general, Zhaoqing is rich in sports space resources, but man-made resources are relatively concentrated with the city and tend to be homogeneous. At the same time, the combination of natural resources and human resources in rural sports space needs to be further strengthened. In addition, the form of rural sports space construction is relatively single, focusing on organizing a single activity, lacking the overall consideration of rural revitalization, that is, the awareness of coordinated development needs to be strengthened. In this regard, some research suggestions are put forward, such as improving the spatial layout of rural sports, making full use of natural and human resources, and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas.
