Spatial Evolution of Traditional Village Dwellings in Heilongjiang Province

Abstract

Heilongjiang Province belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate. The special climatic conditions have resulted in the creation of unique traditional dwellings, which is a field worth studying. In order to study the spatial form of the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province, we conducted field research, administered a questionnaire survey, and mapped the traditional village dwellings in the region from the 1950s to the 1990s. Through field visits to the village of Aihui and other villages, conversations with the masses, and field measurements of the local traditional dwellings, we summarized the development and evolution process of the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province. With the support of materials and data, this paper discusses the evolution process of the traditional village dwellings from the aspects of housing, space, material, heating, and so on. With the development of the economy, the population is gradually outflowing, which has resulted in housing problems, which are particularly prominent. The speed at which traditional villages are disappearing is also striking. According to official statistics, an average of 1.6 traditional villages disappears every day in China. In order to curb this phenomenon, reasonable suggestions are put forward on issues such as heritage protection and cultural industry development to provide a reference for follow-up research on the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province.

A Study on Industrial Heritage Renewal Strategy Based on Hybrid Bayesian Network

“…Meanwhile, on 15 March 2023, China officially launched the "National Industrial Heritage Management Measures" to replace the previous interim measures. These measures primarily delineate regions of critical significance for the preservation and application of the nation's industrial heritage, emphasizing a sequence of conservation and sustainable development prerequisites [24,25].…”

Spatio-Temporal distribution characteristics and driving factors of traditional villages in the Yellow River Basin

“…These studies summarize historical experiences in settlement protection and combine them with rural development and protection, and preservation of native architecture and landscapes, aiming to find new feasible approaches for the preservation and development of traditional settlements. Regarding content, research on TVs mainly focuses on spatial distribution characteristics and their influencing factors [11][12][13][14][15][16], attempting to reveal the spatial aggregation characteristics and driving factors of TVs through a series of spatial analyses [17][18][19][20][21], thereby promoting village protection and integrated urban-rural development. In order to further promote the sustainable development of TVs, some scholars have conducted appropriate technical evaluations of them, studying the spatial distribution of cultural heritage through digital technology, aiming to comprehensively support the revitalization of ancient villages [22,23].…”

Spatial Differentiation and Driving Factors of Traditional Villages in Jiangsu Province

“…Studies on traditional villages have mainly focused on their spatial layout [6][7][8], their evolution process [9], the evaluation of their driving factors [10][11][12], and their protection and spatial optimization [13][14][15][16][17]. On a geographical scale, most studies have been carried out in countries [18,19], in different administrative regions [20][21][22], and in different geomorphic regions [23][24][25][26].…”

“…However, most of these are mainly qualitative descriptions and case studies [20,21]. Based on different administrative spatial units, the authors paid more attention to the distribution pattern of the spatial location of rural settlements, and the research methods were relatively simple.…”
