We discuss in the articles theoretical approaches in social psychology, used for describe representation of social space by subject. It is shown that different social sciences use original theoretical models of social space. In social psychology, these models are used to measure the relationship of the subject with physical (real) world. At the same time, research concepts do not always correspond to the subject's ideas about social space. As a result, image of subjective perception of space can be misrepresented. The decision is seen as a generalisation of the parameters used to explain the subject’s space perception in physical, phenomenological, social-interactional and topological approach.They are: elements of space (objects), centre and metric (as a way of organising elements of space, used for evaluate relations between them). In conclusion, need of empirical verification of assumptions made about inner components representation of social space is noted.
