Following the study of Molodtsov on soft topological structures in 2015, this study discusses the concepts in soft topological structures through subspaces, investigates some of their crucial properties, and provides their characterizations. To ensure consistency with Molodtsov’s framework, this paper defines the τ̃-neighborhood in a subspace S ⊆ X of any x ∈ S as τ̃(x) ∩ S, noting that his definition of the τ̃-neighborhood in X of any x ∈ X is τ̃(x), which equals τ̃(x) ∩ X. Moreover, this study researches some of the relations between concepts in a space and their correspondences in subspaces. Besides, it explores whether being τ̃-C-, τ̃-T-, τ̃-B-, and τ̃-I-soft discrete and indiscrete topologies is hereditary or not. Finally, this study handles if further research concerning these aspects is needed.
