description This study is based on the Taihang Mountain Area in Southern Hebei Province, focusing on battlefield sites in She County. Interdisciplinary theories and methods such as field investigation, architectural typology, and GIS spatial analysis are used to establish the protection roadmap and geographic information database for battlefield sites. The aim is to reveal the architectural characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution patterns of battlefield sites, evaluate its current status and constraints, and propose targeted protection strategies and restoration measures. Research has found that battlefield sites combine the characteristics of traditional dwellings and village temples, presenting the characteristics of clear clustering distribution and low altitude with a system near the water in the spatial and temporal dimensions, with good natural adaptability and unique rural cultural landscapes. At the same time, in response to the constraints and challenges still faced by protection work, a protection strategy framework has been constructed from six aspects: strengthening daily maintenance, reducing human and natural damage, optimizing the property rights system, unifying responsibility subjects, comprehensive development and utilization, and international legislation and cooperation. Repair and protection guidelines have been established from five technical links: timber structure, joinery work, roof, wall, and ground. This study can lay the foundation for the cultural inheritance and sustainable protection of battlefield sites in the Taihang Mountain Area of Southern Hebei Province, and provide theoretical references and practical examples for similar research.
