Abstract

The vitality of traditional villages (VTV) is a reference indicator for measuring the hollowing out of traditional villages. Human settlements in the world are based on the access and availability to the chief vitality factors of the geographical region. The traditional villages of China are the potential candidates for improving vitality optimization, as their development is still in the stage of infancy. This work proposes a framework that integrates complex subsystems of the traditional village human settlements with the vitality factors. The issues in these traditional villages are analyzed under the umbrella of social life, domestic life and agriculture, which is the primary occupation of people in traditional villages. Further, the work identifies the contemporary computing technologies and communication technologies used in various applications of intelligent sensor technology. This work associates the various subsystems of the villages, namely strategic, social, economic, resource and environment subsystem, and information subsystem, with the factors influencing dimensions of development, namely resources, service chain, sustainability, technology and institution. This framework can be further extended to include more elements of vitality factors.
