Analysis of the Spatial Pattern of Military River Defense on the Ming Great Wall: A Case Study of the Shanxi Section of the Yellow River by Tianlian WANG, Zhe LI

“…The analysis of the spatial pattern of river defense can improve the theoretical framework of the Great Wall defense system, thus fully integrating the multiple resource values of the Great Wall and the Yellow River. MethodsThe quantitative analysis is conducted using the ArcGIS geographic information platform, involving the review of historical documents, the field investigation of existing sites, the utilization of drones for low-altitude image data collection for purpose of generating 3D real scene model, and the integration of historical aerial films and other multi-source data.The specific methodology comprises two key components: Firstly, analyzing the constituent elements of the defense system of river defence space and summarizing their functional attributes based on the theoretical framework of the Ming Great Wall’s military defence; secondly, summarizing the spatial distribution characteristics of river defence elements by incorporating changes in geographic location, hydrology, environment, and other natural factors. …”
