Spatial Gene Mapping of the Dong Settlement in Tongdao, Hunan
Abstract
Through investigating spatial genetic mapping, the current study reveals the inherent laws of the growth and development of traditional settlements. Factors affecting the growth and development of traditional settlements and the genetic mapping of spatial layouts were explored and summarized through a case study based on the Dong settlement of Tongdao County, Hunan Province. Visualization and quantification assistance of computer analysis techniques were employed. The extraction and analysis of the spatial rules of traditional settlements not only contribute to a greater understanding of the unique spatial-composition logic and development methods of traditional settlements, but also generate high application value for the planning and design, cultural protection, and revival of rural settlements. Furthermore, the establishment of a spatial genetic mapping research system provides valuable clues and guidance for the inheritance and development of traditional rural culture and rural planning in the new era.
