Abstract


The basic characteristics of spatial forms of traditional villages in the Qingjian River Basin, Northern Shaanxi Province in the Loess Plateau were analyzed through field investigations. The results revealed eight characteristics that were closely related to the spatial form of villages. Correlations among these eight characteristics were analyzed using SPSS19.0, and the results suggest that characteristics of spatial forms of traditional villages are most closely related to landforms. Based on these data, the spatial forms of traditional villages in the Qingjian River Basin were divided into river valley, slope platform, and ridge-top slope areas. In addition, five components of spatial forms were analyzed, spatial morphological features were summarized, and correlations between environmental features and spatial forms of villages in the Qingjianhe River Basin were discussed.
