Abstract: Distinction between urban and rural space is closely related to historical heritage, administrative division and subjective perception. The authors of this study would like to set up the basic framework for the assessment of urban and rural elements in the perception of space. Evaluation of the space and traffic was made using the selected parameters on the example of Ban Josip Jelacic Street in the settlement of Visnjevac. This paper is basedon the analysis of the cartographic material, the existing literature and a pilot study that includes a survey of various target groups and different age structures. According to the administrative division,Visnjevac belongs to Osijek's urban environment, thoughit is, according to its typology and space structure, more rural than urban settlement. The main goal is to analyse the urban elements present in the perception of space and the degree of the transition process in the analyzed area. These results are indicative, but they should be taken with a certain caution,because they include analysis and synthesis of just one main street of the settlement. For a more realistic picture, it is necessary to include the entire area of the settlement, analyze the social and economic activities, observe distribution of function and communication networks, as well as to increase the number of respondents in a survey of subjective perception
