In this paper, we will deal with the Aleksandrov-Rassias problem. More precisely, we prove some theorems concerning the mappings preserving one or two distances.

We generalize a theorem of W. Benz by proving the following result: Let $H_{\theta}$ be a half space of a real Hilbert space with dimension $\geq$ 3 and let Y be a real normed space which is strictly convex. If a distance $\rho$ > 0 is contractive and another distance N$\rho$ (N $\geq$ 2) is extensive by a mapping f : $H_{\theta}$ \longrightarrow Y, then the restriction f│$_{\theta}$ $H_{+}$$\rho$/2// is an isometry, where $H_{\theta}$＋$\rho$/2/ is also a half space which is a proper subset of $H_{\theta}$. Applying the above result, we also generalize a classical theorem of Beckman and Quarles.
