摘要

Examining the spatial arrangement of rural settlements and the determinants thereof is crucial for fostering their growth and the prosperity of their residents.The research utilizes ArcGIS for spatial analysis, incorporates geostatistical methods, engages in GeoDetector assessment, and draws from historical literature to construct a detailed model illustrating the interplay of environmental, societal, and cultural elements influencing the layout of rural settlements. The following are the study's findings: (1) Traditional villages in Anhui Province, China, exhibit a distinct spatial arrangement characterized by a central hub surrounded by multiple peripheral zones. To minimize disputes and maintain harmony, these settlements tend to favor more rugged, elevated landscapes rather than flat, open areas. This strategic placement in hilly regions reflects both practical considerations and cultural preferences in village organization. (2) Traditional villages in Anhui Province mostly originated before the Sui Dynasty. Spatially, they are predominantly east–west orientated. Throughout the dynasties, the center of distribution gradually shifted to the southern mountainous areas with the occurrence of wars. (3) A mix of social, historical, cultural, and ecological variables determine the establishment and dispersion of traditional villages in Anhui Province. The geographical placement and spatial arrangement of traditional villages are profoundly shaped by both environmental and cultural factors, while their evolution and prosperity hinge on socioeconomic conditions, historical context, and cultural traditions.
