This study analyzed the formation processes of the small community “Hot” and the changes in residence status of the pastoralists in “Hot” and identified the current status of the settling of these pastoralists and the processes thereof. 1) With the establishment of the people's commune in 1958, “Hot” as the pastoral residential groups for nomads was organized and stabilized. 2) In the land being studied, with only a narrow land area and a small number of livestock, it appears that the ranching style, where collective houses and lands are jointly used in each “Hot” was established to effectively manage the division of lands and livestock. 3) Space compositions for “Hot” are based on the configuration that existed when they were nomads. With crowded buildings or influences of government policies, visible boarders which separate livestock or the boundaries of each household, appeared. 4) Space concepts for traditional yurt are used in the space composition for the stabilized residences. The space concepts are affected by the settling down process, the Han people and urban residences. New and old space concepts co-exist.
