Abstract:: With the strengthening of global economic integration, the population flow has been greatly increased and more and more Chinese people have chosen to live abroad. However, as a foreign group, the integration of local community needs to go through a runin process. This study took Chinese population in Milan and Italy as research object and adopted question “will you be willing to settle down in Milan for long term” in questionnaire to acquire the relative data about Chinese in Milan. Based on the analysis of integration status and establishment of dualistic Logistic regression model, the research considered the factor which may affect the degree of integration in urban community for “Chinese in Milan” group. The results show that the social integration of “Chinese in Milan” group is not related to the internal factors such as gender, age, family status and social external factors such as social participation frequency, work intensity and so on; the influencing factors such as occupational types, employment income, education background and language competence have a positive impact on the urban social integration of “Chinese in Milan” group. Therefore, improving working condition, employment income and cultural standing is significant to promote the process of urban social integration for “Chinese in Milan” group.
