The LP area represented by provinces of Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi has become the main background and hotspot area of GFGP research.…”

Ecological restoration programs such as the “Grain for Green Project” (GFGP) have significantly reduced soil erosion and increased vegetation cover on the Loess Plateau (LP) of China over the last decades. The LP has become the paragon of ecological restoration and soil and water conservation across the world and has been highlighted by numerous reports in the literature. However, there is a lack of “seeing is believing” evidence (that is, a picture is worth a thousand words) depicting the effectiveness of the ecological restoration on the LP. Rephotography (repeat photography) was used in this study to compare historical and current photographs of the same locations to explore the landscape changes associated with ecological restoration. Twenty‐nine photo pairs between 1925 and 2021 were compiled and combined with satellite imagery and the deduced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) between 1986 and 2021. This allowed the establishment of a rephotography library reflecting the achievements of ecological remediation and reconstruction on the LP. This in turn provides intuitive and detailed evidence for the ecological environment construction of the LP and resonates with the notion of “lucid waters and lush mountains being invaluable assets”. In addition to presenting a great opportunity to investigate landscape change over time, which is difficult to discern using other approaches, the study provides a scientific reference and a basis for government decision‐making. The potential use of rephotography for calibrating remote sensed data was also discussed. Good agreement was found between the NDVI derived from rephotography of large areas and NDVI derived from satellite imageries, which may facilitate the accurate reconstruction of time series NDVI.

“…The impact of traditional villages on the surrounding land can be measured by establishing a buffer zone [42]. In order to further explore the impact of ethnic villages on various indicators of sustainable development, according to the area and precision of the study area, we set up two buffer zones every 2km with ethnic villages as the center using the MultipleRingBuffer tool and r as the radius (r1 = 2 km, r2 = 4 km) in ArcGIS10.4 software, calculated and compared the values of landscape index, ESV and resistance in the buffer zone from 1995 to 2020 [43][44][45].…”

Rapid economic development and accelerated urbanization have seriously affected the development of traditional ethnic villages in China. We used the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model based on land use, landscape pattern, and ecosystem service value (ESV) to evaluate the spatio-temporal dynamics of sustainable development in Hani traditional ethnic villages from 1995 to 2020. By analyzing changes in sustainability indicators in the Hani area and different buffer zones, this paper aims to assess the impact of ethnic villages in the Hani Area on sustainable development and provide recommendations for the sustainable development of traditional ethnic Hani villages. The results indicated that: (1) The area of construction land and landscape fragmentation in the Hani area significantly increased and the value of ecosystem services and levels of sustainable development decreased each year during the study period; (2) The area of cropland in the 2 km buffer zone of the traditional ethnic villages increased, the degree of landscape fragmentation, the value of ecosystem services, and the level of sustainable development were lower than in the 4 km buffer zone during the study period. This is due to population increases in traditional ethnic Hani villages, as well as the intensive reclamation of cropland, increased construction land, and landscape fragmentation. We suggest that the Hani should implement scientific land planning and management policies to protect the local ecosystem and realize the sustainable development of traditional ethnic Hani villages.

“…Since the establishment of a series of naming systems focusing on the selection and protection of rural cultural heritage by the national and local governments in 2002, there has been a surge of attention and research on characteristic villages in the academic circle. Many scholars have conducted a series of fruitful researches on the FHCVs (Wang et al, 2022;Hu et al, 2021), the TVs (Fu et al, 2021;Su et al, 2022;Xu et al, 2021;Gao et al, 2021;, the EVs (Wang et al, 2018;Xu et al, 2022;Sato et al, 2019;Kibe et al, 2022), the CLTVs (Qi et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2021), and the specialized villages (Yang et al, 2022). In terms of research content, it mainly falls into the following aspects, such as spatial structure identification (Wu et al, 2020;Zheng et al, 2022), spatial differentiation and influencing factors (Gao et al, 2021;Qi et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2022;Li et al, 2023;Gong et al, 2022;Jin et al, 2022), sustainable development (Wang et al, 2018;Randelli et al, 2019;Prevolšek et al, 2020), vitality assessment (Liu et al, 2022), heritage values (Fu et al, 2021), rural cultural heritage tourism (Xu et al, 2021;Sanchez-Martin et al, 2020), and protection strategy and revitalization (Jin et al, 2022;Dai et al, 2019;Gao et al, 2017).…”

The characteristic protection villages (CPVs) are the basic types of rural revitalization, and one of the essential carriers of rural cultural heritage. Identifying its spatial structure characteristics contributes to the inheritance and continuation of rural civilization. Based on the CPVs data in Hubei Province, this paper identified spatial structure and evolution characteristic of CPVs in the perspective of spatial distribution types, direction, density, and equilibrium, respectively. At the same time, the Geodetector was used to analyze the influence mechanism of CPVs from 2009 to 2020. The main results showed that: (1) The spatial distribution of CPVs was an agglomeration structure type, which showed an increasing agglomeration trend of evolution characteristics in Hubei Province. And among them, the traditional villages (TVs) had the highest degree of agglomeration. (2) The CPVs showed the pattern of “east (slightly south) – west (slightly north)” with strong centripetal force and obvious directional, and they also showed a trend of gradual diffusion to east and west. (3) The high–density areas of CPVs presented an evolution trend from scattered independent structure to massive cluster structure, and generally presented a horizontal V shape kernel density structure. Meanwhile, the high–density areas of different types of CPVs had significant differences. (4) The CPVs were distributed in an unequal probability, and there were agglomerations in Yichang, Jingzhou, Shiyan, Xiangyang, and Enshi where it showed a gradually balanced development trend. The natural environment is the background and cornerstone of the site selection and layout of CPVs in Hubei Province. The influence of resource endowment, social economy and policy environment on the spatial distribution of CPVs are increasing gradually, and there are significant differences between different types of CPVs affected by various factors. We try to fill the gap in quantitative identification on the structure of CPVs to enrich the research regarding the special type features mechanism, which has significance for the protection and revitalization development of CPVs.
