Study on the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional villages and their response to the water network system in the lower yangtze river basin

Traditional villages hold significant historical and cultural value as the precious heritage of China’s agricultural civilization. Currently, against the backdrop of increasing urbanization and rapid expansion of urban construction land, the spatial patterns of traditional villages across various regions in China are being encroached upon and damaged, with protection pressures growing daily. As one of the important cradles of Chinese civilization, the Lower Yangtze River Basin (LYRB) has traditional villages closely linked with its water systems, forming a unique human-land relationship and spatial distribution pattern. However, influenced by the rapid urbanization process, the spatial patterns of traditional villages in this region also face a crisis, and the contradiction between protection and development is becoming increasingly prominent. How to balance this contradiction and ensure the reasonable protection and sustainable development of traditional villages has become an urgent issue to address. Therefore, this study focuses on the LYRB. Using ArcGIS tools and combined with mathematical analysis methods, the spatial distribution characteristics and essential influencing factors of traditional villages in this area were screened and analyzed. The objective was to examine the spatial structural relationship between traditional villages, four water system types, and nine sub-basin units, intending to reveal the unique interdependence between the water system and traditional villages in this area. This would provide scientific support for the formulation of scientific conservation strategies. The research results show that: (1) Traditional villages in The LYRB form two core clusters spatially and exhibit substantial spatial accumulation; (2) Water system characteristics are the main factors affecting the distribution of traditional villages; (3) In the LYRB, the spatial distribution of the nine sub-basins is closely related to the spatial distribution of traditional villages, resulting in typical regional spatial differentiation of traditional villages in this area. This study is based on a watershed perspective, and the results highlight the importance of the water system network in the development of traditional villages, revealing a unique spatial dependency relationship between traditional villages and the water network in the LYRB. In order to ensure the comprehensive protection of the traditional village system in this region, it is essential to adhere to the fundamental principles that govern its spatial configuration. A tripartite collaborative protection system based on the watershed should be formulated from the perspective of the overall distribution relationship between the water network and the traditional villages. This system would serve to protect the overall landscape, the water network pattern, and the traditional villages. Establishing an overall pattern view of integrating the water system network and the traditional villages is essential.

Study on Landscape Characteristics and Protection Methods of Liangshan Yi Traditional Villages

Traditional villages carry the Chinese nation's historical memory, production and life wisdom, cultural and artistic crystallization, and national and regional characteristics, maintain the roots of Chinese civilization, and carry the homesickness of Chinese people of all ethnic groups. However, the landscape characteristics of traditional villages in China are gradually disappearing. Taking the traditional villages of Yi nationality in Liangs han, Sichuan as the research object, this paper analyzes and studies the landscape characteristics, settlement characteristics and architectural characteristics respectively through the macroscopic landscape level, the mesoscopic settlement level and the microscopic architectural level. By summarizing the characteristics of Liangshan Yi traditional landscape, this study provides theoretical support for the protection of traditional villages.

Exploring the Current Status and Direction of Traditional Village Value Assessment Research Based on Citespace

Traditional villages are a valuable "gene pool" for the transmission of outstanding traditional Chinese culture. With the development of Chinese modernization and urbanization, the protection and development of traditional villages have received more and more attention from all levels and subjects of the State, and their value as carriers of history, culture and folklore has been generally recognized. However, there still exists a lack of public awareness of traditional villages, which has brought a great impact on the protection and development of traditional villages. As a result, research themes such as traditional village protection and development strategies, living heritage and centralized and contiguous protection are increasingly being paid attention to and evaluated by all sectors of society.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the knowledge mapping of the literature related to the value assessment of traditional villages at home and abroad through the application of CiteSpace software, to sort out and summarize the literature, and to discuss its future development direction in a targeted manner, so as to provide scientific guidance and reference for future research on the value assessment of traditional villages.

Research on Traditional Village Spatial Differentiation from the Perspective of Cultural Routes: A Case Study of 338 Villages in the Miao Frontier Corridor

The traditional villages in the Miao Frontier Corridor are the products of migrations, social interactions, and transportation, as well as production interchanges between the central plains and the frontiers of China in ancient times. They have made significant contributions to local multicultural inheritance and regional social development. However, with the increasing pressure of heritage conservation and sustainable development, there is growing attention on how traditional villages can tap into their cultural continuity and distinctiveness. This study introduces the concept of cultural routes, with the aim of integrating traditional villages of different ethnicities, regions, and characteristics from the perspective of diversity. It analyzes their spatial differentiation characteristics and the factors influencing them, providing basic support for the overall protection of traditional villages with special characteristics. Following this idea, 338 remaining traditional villages in the Miao Frontier Corridor were selected as the research objects. With the help of 91-satellite maps and a geographic information system (GIS), a cultural and geographic database of the traditional villages in the Miao Frontier Corridor was constructed to objectively explore the roles of the traditional villages’ natural geography, historical, and humanistic elements in the spatial categorization on a large scale. This study shows that the spatial distribution of the traditional villages in the Miao Frontier Corridor is uneven, exhibiting a cluster structure with of a “single primary nucleus with multiple secondary nuclei”. The spatial differentiation of traditional villages exhibits a similar clustering pattern based on individual natural geographic factors, such as elevation, mountain undulation, slope, and water systems. Additionally, there is discernible regularity concerning historical and humanistic factors, such as ethnicity type, age of village establishment, and the presence of guard stations. Further exploring the micro-spatial level, the natural geographical environment serves as the structural foundation of traditional village space, while the historical and humanistic environment fosters multiple differentiations in traditional village space in terms of influencing factors. Together, these factors jointly influence the spatial differentiation of traditional villages. This study enriches the dynamic aspects of linear cultural heritage preservation and also provides new insights into the specialized development within the overall protection of traditional villages.

Construction of Multiple Paths for the Living Protection and Utilization of Traditional Villages: A Case Study of the Zhoutie Traditional Village in the Taihu Lake Area

China is a vast country with a wide range of geographical and cultural differences, unbalanced economic development of traditional villages and housings, shortages in infrastructure and people’s living conditions, prominent environmental and ecological problems, and an urgent need to improve the overall level of rural development. For a long time, the protection and utilization of traditional villages have mostly been based on the cognitive views of “frozen protection”and “one-sided protection”, prompting difficulties and resistance in practice. Meanwhile, the result is not effective. At present, traditional villages encounter the situation of declining, hollowing out, and aging. Therefore, it is the theoretical frontier of traditional village research to get rid of the traditional one-sided and frozen protection model. Research should explore the living protection and utilization methods adapted to the characteristics of traditional villages and promote the close integration of traditional village protection and utilization with new development and construction.Under the background of rural revitalization strategy and solving the critical problems of a lack of vitality, the decline and hollowing out of traditional villages are caused by “frozen”protection strategies. This is based on the extensive research and continuous study conducted by the “Key Technology and Integrated Demonstration for the Living Protection and Utilisation of Traditional Villages”of the “13th Five-Year Plan”key research project, especially the in-depth study of traditional villages around Taihu Lake. From the perspective of integrated development, it recogni zes the dynamic interactions among the industrial status (production), regional natural resource (ecology), and historical living conditions (living) . This can help fully coordinate industrial development and improvement of the living environment and ecological construction. Thus, traditional vil lages can obtain endogenous power for sustainable development. It also reveals that living protection and utilization are embodied in a systematic and orderly protection system under the simultaneous development of spatial dimension and temporal dimensions.In the protection system, the coordinated development of spatial and temporal dimensions attaches importance to both the overall protection of the material space of traditional villages and the synergistic development of intangible culture and traditional villages in the time dimension. Its objective is to make the protection and utilization of traditional villages and the peoples ’daily lives mutually promote each other, enhance the villagers ’happiness and sense of achievement, and realize the sustainable development of traditional villages. For the theoretical approach, a multi-level path of living protection and utilization is constructed by combining spatial and temporal dimensions. Among them, the multi-level path in the spatial dimension is composed of three levels: the overall village layout, the individual building, and the indoor environment. The ephemeral path in the temporal dimension is progressively promoted by combining the immediate, medium, and long term, with intertwined interactions of the paths in temporal and spatial dimensions to achieve the living protection of traditional villages. Finally, the practical application of the above-mentioned multiple paths is elaborated by taking the Zhoutie traditional village demonstration project in the Taihu Lake area as an example. Both perspective and practical explorations are conducted.This study is on the construction of multiple paths of traditional villages in temporal and spatial dimensions with an elaboration of the Zhoutie traditional village in the Taihu Lake area. It is an example that will be a positive reference for the research and practical application of the protection and utilization of traditional villages in different regions of China towards an overall and dynamic ‘living ’protection and utilization model. Therefore, this study contributes to building traditional villages to gain continuous endogenous power and promote the sustainable development of traditional villages.

Protection of traditional villages in China: a review on the development process and policy evolution

Protection of traditional villages in China: a review on the development process and policy evolution

The Impact of Villagers' Participation in the Protection and Development of Traditional Villages on the Revitalization of Traditional Villages

Traditional villages carrying farming civilization are valuable historical and cultural heritage of China, and also the key to rural revitalization. Under the tide of modernization, Xihe Village, located in the mountains, is relatively intact as a traditional village. Under the guidance of the traditional village protection policy, the village has achieved remarkable results in protection and development. However, as the main body of village protection practice, local villagers still face corresponding problems in the protection and development of villages and the participation of relevant policies. These problems are manifested in residents' relatively low understanding of the protection policies of traditional villages; The government does not fully cooperate with the local villagers in carrying out cultural activities, and the village culture is not fully explored. Village infrastructure is still lacking, which is not conducive to retaining villagers to live and develop in the village. Therefore, in order to strengthen the participation of villagers in the protection of traditional villages, the government should strengthen the publicity of the protection and development policy of traditional villages. When carrying out cultural activities, the government should strengthen the cooperation with the villagers and explore the various cultural resources in the villages. Improve the infrastructure in the village, and provide better material guarantee for the life development of local villagers.

Post-utilization Evaluation of Public Space in Traditional Villages and Towns from the Perspective of Space Syntax

After the Rural Revitalization Strategy was formally put forward in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017, the protection and utilization of traditional villages and towns have received significant attention from China’s academic circle and society as an important aspect of the strategy. Although many Chinese traditional villages and towns have been reconstructed successfully, there are still relatively limited academic studies on the assessment of their performance after utilization. It is a challenge that has to be solved urgently for current academic studies on traditional village protection and updating to develop village renovation techniques to provide a suitable living environment and protect traditional regional characteristics. Therefore, a systematic study on traditional village protection in China based on demonstration areas has important academic and practical significance in implementing the rural revitalization strategy and promoting overall urban-rural development. A post-use quantitative evaluation system of traditional villages and towns was established in the present study by introducing the leading space syntax theoretical technology in the field of urban morphological analysis and combining with the AHP-fuzzy comprehensive method, combining existing qualitative and quantitative analysis means. Moreover, reconstruction strategies of traditional villages and towns were proposed according to feedback information from evaluation results. Results showed that (1) according to a case study based on typical traditional villages and towns in Shawan Ancient Town in Guangzhou City, the post-utilization evaluation system of public space in traditional villages and towns demonstrates applicability and generalizability. (2) From 2010 to 2020, the highly integrated network of Shawan Ancient Town formed a ‘cross’ pattern. The accessibility and traffic capacity of the road network improved to a certain extent after the renovation. (3) Public space in Shawan Ancient Town is ranked as ‘good’ concerning cultural construction, while the functional evaluation and economic, social effects are ‘moderate’. Finally, a public space protection and renewal framework of traditional villages and towns was established from the perspectives of an optimized spatial layout of ancient towns, enhancing users’ satisfaction and actively conducting cultural activities. This study is expected to provide scientific references to rebuild rural images and inherit regional context.

Research on Implementation and Management Evaluation System for Protection and Utilization of Traditional Villages:A Case Study of Traditional Chinese Villages in Lingnan Waterfront

The protection and utilization of traditional villages have seen an increase around China since the country issued the catalogue of tra-ditional village protection. However, the effect of the protection and utilization of traditional villages has not been remarkable, as physical decline and constructive failure of traditional villages occur frequently. Consequently, traditional villages are faced with challenges through a lack of evalua-tion and poor construction management. As an important feedback tool, conducting an evaluation can shed light on achievements in implementation of protection and utilization of traditional villages and effectively reveal problems impeding such implementation. Establishing a scientific evalua-tion system for traditional village protection and utilization is of great significance to the sustainable protection and utilization of traditional villages. Currently, China has not introduced an evaluation system for the implementation of traditional village protection and utilization, and only limited re-search has been conducted in this area. Existing studies have emphasized the evaluation of the implementation of protection and utilization but pay only limited attention to the implementation process. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of implementation planning and man-agement, and of relevant studies on this topic, the current study examined the methods used to evaluate the effect of protection and utilization, the protection measures and supervision structures from the perspective of achievements and processes around implementation. Moreover, a case study based on the traditional villages in Lingnan Waterfront was used in the current study, with a focus on the local characteristics of the implementation and management of traditional village protection and utilization. On this basis, an evaluation index system is established, which comprises settlement protection and planning implementation, an active utilization degree, new-old settlement collaboration, protection measures, implementation supervi-sion and management. In Lingnan Waterfront, 44 national-level traditional villages are chosen as samples to examine the implementation and man-agement of traditional village protection and utilization. The results shows that the implementation of traditional village protection and utilization in Lingnan Waterfront poses obvious non-equilibrium challenges. Concerning the implementation of traditional village protection and utilization, there are three levels: Good, moderate and poor. Government policy support, urbanization and industrialization represent important factors that influence the implementation and management of traditional village protection and utilization. For traditional villages that are protected, utilized and managed well, the implementation and management of their protection and utilization are aligned with the early attention paid by the Chinese Government to the situation, as well as the impacts of both industrialization and urbanization. Traditional villages which exhibit moderate implementation and man-agement of protection and utilization are often influenced by industrialization and urbanization in rural areas in the Pearl River Delta. Driven by demolition of old houses and the construction of new housing sites for villagers facing a land shortage, the rural landscape and appearance of villages have undergone different degrees of damage. For traditional villages with poor implementation and management of protection and utilization, the locations of such villages are significantly influenced by urbanization or industrialization in the Pearl River Delta. As traditional villages are attrac-ted by the economic benefits, protection and utilization encounter severe impacts caused by urbanization and the construction of industrial parks in rural areas, and are stuck in a dilemma. Ultimately, the implementation and management evaluation system of traditional village protection and utili-zation is established in the current study based on the case study of Lingnan Waterfront. The results of the study not only deepen the existing body of knowledge on the implementation evaluation of traditional villages, but also provide a reference point for action to address the situation.

Evaluation method of the coordination degree between landscape protection and tourism development in the traditional village

Landscape protection and tourism development are a pair of contradictions in the revitalization of traditional villages. It is an important topic to study the coordination between them. This research reveals the interactive mechanism between the protection of traditional rural features and the development of tourism, based on which the evaluation model and index system of the coordination degree of the composite system are constructed. The result is illustrated by the example of the first three plots of traditional Chinese villages in the Gansu Longzhong area from 2013 to 2018. The evolution trend of the traditional village landscape protection subsystem, the development of the tourism subsystem, and the composite system’s coordination degree were analyzed. The results show that the coordination of traditional village landscape protection and tourism development composite system at the same base period gradually increases. Nevertheless, the coordination between adjacent base periods is at a low level. The increase in the synergy between the landscape protection subsystem and the tourism development subsystem tends to be the same, and the two subsystems are in a positive development that promotes each other. Based on the above conclusions, this research puts forward the coordination strategies and suggestions for the protection of traditional villages and tourism development.

Study on spatial form evolution of traditional villages in Jiuguan under the influence of historic transportation network

Traditional villages are China's cultural heritage resources; they carry rich historical and cultural information and have important historical significance and cultural value. Studying their spatial forms can suggest new ideas for the protection of traditional villages. The spatial configuration of traditional villages is shaped by a complex interplay of natural geography, socio-economic factors, transportation infrastructure, and essential facilities. Various developmental scenarios lead to diverse spatial development patterns, each demonstrating unique dynamic characteristics throughout its evolution. This article focuses on the exploration of the spatial morphology of Jiuguan Village, located along the Jingxing Ancient Post Road. By using kernel density analysis, space syntax, spatial form index, and so on, the spatial form of Jiuguan Village was studied from three aspects: public facilities clustering degree, road system, and spatial form index. Through a hierarchical approach involving points, lines, and planes, our study unveils the multifaceted influence of transportation factors on the village's historical development and its dynamic adaptive attributes within the context of traditional village spatial morphology. The results indicated that the location advantage of traffic is the driving force behind land expansion. Secondly, the areas with high traffic accessibility tend to be public spaces in villages. Third, the change in the transportation market will lead to a change in village land use functions. Finally, the renewal of transportation modes will change the spatial scale of the village. This research offers a deeper comprehension of the historical context surrounding traditional villages and provides a scientifically guided framework for heritage preservation and sustainable village development.

Research on the Public Environment Renewal of Traditional Villages Based on the Social Network Analysis Method

Constructing digital models of public spaces of social networks found in traditional villages helps us explore the logic behind the interactions that occur within various relationships as well as achieve the optimization of spatial layouts and the equalization of the different use needs that social groups have. However, this analytical method has not been fully studied in the field focusing on the rationality of public spaces in traditional villages. This paper takes the traditional village protection demonstration area in Mentougou District, Beijing, China, as the object of research and selects three different forms of traditional villages to be analyzed. It tries to excavate the universal laws and unique differences in the models of the different forms of traditional villages and establish models for quantitative research, such as index calculation, so as to increase the depth and accuracy of research and embody the characteristic laws of the spaces studied in terms of the nature of the structures and relationships that are part of these spaces. The results show that the spatial characteristics of the different forms of traditional villages are obviously different from the relevance, equalization, and connectivity of spatial networks. The cluster form of traditional villages tends to focus on the villagers’ use demands and the assessment of the spatial status quo by increasing the number of spatial nodes and transforming spatial functions in order to achieve higher equalization. The dispersed form of traditional villages tends to focus on optimizing the relevance of spatial network structures. The linear form of traditional villages tends to establish public spaces so as to increase the depth and accuracy of research. Villages ought to establish direct links between public spaces in order to increase the connectivity of traditional villages. This study provides a rational basis for the differentiated planning decisions of traditional villages and lays the foundation for the promotion of the smooth and sustainable development of regional villages.

Pan-museum Concept Implanted in Chinese Traditional Village Development and Conservation

Since the reform and opening up, the economy has been improving, but the protection of traditional villages and the study of cultural heritage have not kept pace with the times. With the development of tourism, a large number of traditional villages have been commercially exploited, resulting in the destruction of many architectural cultures, including some other local cultures. Through the research and protection of traditional villages, the study of the history of the origin of traditional villages can be established to provide valuable and correct historical data for the research, and at the same time, a correct awareness of the protection of cultural heritage can be set up, so that the development of traditional villages can be carried out in a restrained and orderly manner. The concept of pan-museum is proposed in order to make the traditional villages better express themselves as a carrier for promoting and passing on local culture, which is rich in local cultural values, and can better pass on local culture and stimulate t

Spatio-temporal characteristics of traditional village landscape pattern and its influencing factors from the perspective of tourism development: a case study of Huangcheng Village, China

ABSTRACT Tourism development promotes economic income and cultural protection of traditional villages, but it also disturbs their landscape pattern and ecosystem. This study is aim to explore the process characteristics and mechanisms of the impact of tourism development on the landscape pattern of traditional villages. Taking Huangcheng Village, a typical tourism-oriented traditional village as a case, this research selects four remote sensing images from 1995 to 2020 according to its key time nodes of tourism development, analyzes its landscape expansion and pattern change, and uses Geodetector to explore influencing factors. The results show that: (1) The landscape change mainly presents the non-natural landscape continuously occupying the natural landscape, and expands continuously around tourist resources in edge-expansion and leapfrog-expansion manner, among which the expansion from 2003 to 2011 is the most significant; (2) The dominance and connectivity of non-natural landscape are enhanced, and the overall landscape pattern experiences a “relatively complete – tending to fragmentation – tending to completeness” change process; (3) The dominant factors affecting landscape pattern have stage characteristics. The results emphasize the role of tourism-related socio-economic and policy factors in influencing landscape pattern, which is significant for the landscape pattern optimization and sustainable development of tourist-type traditional villages.

An Analysis of Protection and Renewal Strategies for Ancient Villages in Dongguan: The Case of Tangwei Ancient Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China

Traditional villages carry important memories of the development of China’s farming civilization and are an important part of our cultural heritage. Traditional villages have a profound historical and cultural heritage, and they are both an important carrier of regional culture and a necessary component of regional coordination. Research on the protection and renewal strategy of traditional villages is not only a key area of China’s cultural heritage research, but also an important part of exploring the organic integration of cultural heritage protection and urban-rural development. Under the policy background of centralized and contiguous protection of traditional villages, in view of the realistic environment of revitalization of traditional ancient villages, based on the theory of regeneration and development, the study explores the logical relationship between the protection and development of Dongguan’s traditional villages, puts forward the strategy of protection and regeneration of the ancient villages, and discusses the experience and problems of the practice of the protection and development of the villages, taking the Tangwei Ancient Town of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province as an example. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for the protection and development of Dongguan’s traditional ancient villages, and can provide reference for relevant decision-making and planning.

Exploring the Path of Village Protection and Renewal Strategy Based on the Maximum Information Entropy Model in the Context of Rural Revitalisation

Abstract A comprehensive and systematic view and solution to the protection and renewal of traditional villages can help actively promote and implement the strategy of rural revitalization. This paper constructs a village protection and renewal evaluation system based on the maximum information entropy model, utilizes the entropy weight method to build the index weight evaluation matrix, and introduces the confidence factor to correct the index weights, realizing the combination of the system. Then, based on the linear weighting method to carry out a comprehensive assessment of village protection and renewal development, and based on the assessment results to formulate a personalized village protection and renewal strategy, and the feasibility analysis of the strategy with the village of T city. The results show that village protection and renewal in T city villages generally indicate an upward trend from 2016 to 2023, and the comprehensive evaluation index reached a peak of 0.3227 in 2023. In the case study, the linear regression equations fitted to the scattering points of the uptown residential area villages and the entire T city villages’ axes intersect with a difference in slopes of 14.5123. The angle of the regression line continues to increase in comparison with 2016, indicating that the role of traditional village protection planning is significant. Village protection planning plays an important role in verifying the effectiveness of the formulated village protection and renewal strategy, which can promote the development of village regional characteristics for the good.

A Study on the Protection of Traditional Villages in G City from the Perspective of Rural Revitalization Strategy: A Case Study of Moluo Village in Danba County

Based on the field investigation of traditional villages, cultural heritage and architectural features in G City, this paper analyzes the prominent problems and causes in the protection and development of traditional villages and cultural heritage in G City from the aspects of natural environment, economic development and villagers’ awareness. Further, it puts forward new paths for the protection and sustainable development of traditional villages and cultural heritage from the perspective of “rural revitalization” strategy, such as deepening the concept of co-construction and sharing, creating a new model of integrated development, and building a new method of digital resource sharing platform, so as to inherit and promote traditional Chinese culture.

Study on the Synergistic Development of Chinese Traditional Villages Protection and Landscape Development Facilitated by Rural Revitalization

Abstract To establish the comparative advantage of rural development, the mechanism of policy environment on the synergistic development of village gardens is brought into play. In the design of this paper, the coupling degree model of synergistic development is determined by the degree of influence of the coupling elements of village conservation and landscape gardening on each other. The entropy value method was used to eliminate the difference in the scale between the index data and determine the weight of synergistic indexes. The Dagum Gini coefficient method was used to decompose the total Gini coefficient into intra-regional variance contribution, inter-regional variance and super-variance density, effectively measuring regional development inequality. To verify the actual effect of the synergistic development strategy of traditional village protection and landscape development, the results of the simulation analysis show that after the government of region A implemented the strategy, the peak wave of its synergistic development curve increased from 7.2 points in 2017 to 9.6 points in 2022, the total operating income remained above 45.16 billion yuan, and the index of livability and livability was higher than the weighted value of 0.64 on average. It can be seen that with the help of the rural revitalization strategy, the synergistic development of traditional village protection and landscape development can improve the modernization of the countryside and realize the natural symbiosis of the ecological environment and humanistic development.
