Image Simulation of Traditional Village Spatial Layout Based on Computer Numerical Analysis

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of insufficient protection and spatial development of traditional villages, a method of spatial layout of traditional villages based on computer numerical analysis is proposed. This method uses GIS technology to determine the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional villages in a city by using the nearest neighbor index, geographic concentration index, and kernel density estimation, and analyzes its influencing factors. The experimental results show that most traditional villages are 60–119 km away from the central urban area, and 73% of the traditional villages are more than 60 km away from the central urban area. Traditional villages are generally far away from the central urban area and are less affected by urbanization, maintaining the original style of traditional villages. It shows that elevation, slope, hydrology, traffic conditions, economic indicators, and cultural factors are important factors affecting the spatial distribution of traditional villages in a city. Through analysis, it can be seen that the distribution of traditional villages is affected by multiple factors such as natural conditions, social and economic conditions, and cultural factors. The optimal layout of traditional villages can be strengthened mainly from these aspects.

GIS-Based Analysis of the Spatial Distribution and Influencing Factors of Traditional Villages in Hebei Province, China

“…The geographical concentration index is G = 32 > 18.73 [28], which shows that the traditional villages in Hebei Province are concentrated at the prefecture-level city level and the degree of concentration is high. Using the kernel density analysis tool of ArcGIS [28], we can also conclude that the spatial distribution of traditional villages in Hebei Province is highly aggregated (seeFigure 4) [41]. The core areas of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai-Handan are very weakly connected, while the other prefecture-…”

“…where R denotes the index of the nearest point, n refers to the number of points, A represents the area of the region and D reflects the density of the point [31]. A value of R equalling 1 indicates that the point elements are distributed randomly [41]; a value of R less than 1 denotes a condensed distribution of point elements, whereas a value greater than 1 indicates a uniform distribution. The intention was to utilize the closest neighbourhood index as a tool to assess the historical clustering and spatial relationships of traditional villages within their respective dynastic periods.…”

“…The Geographical Concentration Coefficient (GCC) is an important index used to evaluate the degree of concentration of research objects [33]. This paper mainly uses the GCC to reflect the geographical spatial distribution of traditional village elements in Hebei Province [28], which is an important index for measuring the concentration degree of traditional villages [41]. The calculation formula of GCC is as follows [42]:…”

Principles and Practice of Landscape Design: An Application of Traditional Chinese Landscape Painting

“…As a comprehensive art, landscape design integrates knowledge from multiple fields, such as architecture, landscape, and plants, aiming to create an artificial environment with aesthetic value, ecological function, and practicality. In traditional Chinese garden design, landscape painting plays a crucial role, and its unique artistic techniques and aesthetic concepts provide rich sources of inspiration for garden design (Li & Zhang, 2022). Traditional Chinese landscape painting holds a profound definition and significance within the context of this study.…”

A Study of Spatio-Temporal Differentiation Characteristics and Driving Factors of Shaanxi Province’s Traditional Heritage Villages

“…Previous studies have revealed that most traditional villages in China, except for those in Yunnan and Tibet areas, are mainly distributed in areas with lower altitude and flat slope [17], with a topographic relief ranging from 100 m to 300 m. However, there are still a few traditional villages distributed in high-altitude areas, such as Tongren Tibetan traditional villages in Qinghai Province. Currently, for traditional villages in Shaanxi Province, previous studies mainly focus on the landscape system [20], village architecture [21], spatial distribution [22], specific village structure, and village landscape gene. However, there is a lack of macroscopic and comprehensive analysis, especially for different geographical locations and regional cultures.…”
