Influence of human settlements factors on the spatial distribution patterns of traditional villages in Liaoning province by Guiqiao Tao, Xueming Li, Shenzhen Tian, Hang Li, Yishan Song

“…At the municipal scale, the distribution is relatively uneven and primarily located in the cities of Chaoyang, Jinzhou, Huludao, Panjin, Anshan, and Dalian. (3) The majority of traditional villages are distributed along the southwest–northeast axis of the standard deviation ellipse, which corresponds with the main mountain ranges of Liaoning. (4) The distribution density features a western continuous clustering, central and eastern scattered clustering, and edge clustering pattern. (5) The spatial distribution patterns of traditional villages in Liaoning are influenced by various human settlements factors, with spatial variation in the nature and intensity of the effects of these factors. (6) The natural factors of human settlements are the dominant factors in the spatial distribution patterns of traditional villages, while the humanistic factors of human settlements have a dual impact on these patterns. This paper presents novel ideas for the study of the spatial distribution pattern of traditional villages, scientific support for the development of the disciplines of rural geography and the geography of human settlements, and new scientific decision-making and theoretical support for the protection and utilization of traditional villages.…”
