territory/turf border/boundary
I also think 場子 refers to 地盤, as I've commented previously under the discussion section when this term was posted as part of a single question with four terms.
In that now-deleted question, I suggested "territory/turf border" and also said that gangs fight for territories/turfs.
Therefore, territory or turf for 場子.
Now, I think 界 could also be 'boundary', depending on the context.

IMO, 'spheres of influence', as answered by jyuan_us, also works and is another way of saying.

The border of spheres of influence
2012年6月9日 - 场子就是地盘. 适应某冲需要比较大的地方现在的“砸场子”“踢场子”是捣乱的意思，在这里意指“地盘”，抢地盘之意场子应该知道什么意思了哇.

: I also think 場子 refers to 地盤, as I've commented previously under the discussion section when this term was posted as part of a single question with four terms. :) I think 'territory' or 'turf' also works for 場子. Yes, 'border' or even 'boundary' for 界.
