A user terminal device and a method for recognizing a user location using beacon signals of things are provided. The user terminal device for recognizing the user location includes a communication module configured to receive beacon signal information from things grouped into a plurality of space groups; and a processor configured to identify as a user location in a user space, a space group to which a thing corresponding to a beacon signal having a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of more than a reference value form among RSSIs of beacon signals belongs, based on the beacon signal information. With this, the user terminal device may analyze the beacon signals of the things to recognize the user location in the user space, thereby controlling the things to be optimized for the user.
