Abstract
Traditional villages are encountering contemporary problems in terms of preservation and comprehension as a result of their complex spatial morphologies, which are distinguished by their extensive cultural and architectural legacy, including distinctive architectural styles and historical significance. This study provides evidence that reinforces the unique characteristics of these settlements, supported by particular data and findings. The primary objective of this study is to employ a quantitative approach in order to assess and conserve the spatial morphology of the aforementioned villages. This will be achieved through the utilization of a novel methodology. The utilization of oblique photography technology, which involves taking photos from an angled perspective, along with the incorporation of many quantitative indices, enables the classification and evaluation of traditional villages. The indices encompass measurements such as length/width and perimeter/area ratios, shape index measurements for assessing form complexity, and fractal dimensions for quantifying pattern complexity. This methodology is employed to examine five discrete villages located in Yunnan Province, thereby uncovering distinctive village layouts and boundary characteristics and providing valuable insights into spatial cohesion. This approach offers a full analysis of traditional village morphologies, thus providing useful insights for the preservation of history and the protection of villages.
