From surveys conducted in St. Petersburg in 2006–2007, it is possible to conclude that transformation has led to a distinct division of city space between people of different social status. This refers not so much to residential spatial segregation as it does to activity spaces consisting of personal daily, weekly, yearly, etc., movement routes and entities of visitation. We have fixed and described the differences in types of personal activity spaces between different social groups and the similarity of such spaces within these groups. We have studied the spatiotemporal parameters of consumer behavior, work, social contacts, and recreation of representatives from different social groups. This has allowed us to draw a number of conclusions on factors acting on the process of social segregation of personal activity spaces and the spatiotemporal component of the behavior of different groups
