Identifying and evaluating the inheritance of resilience genes in traditional villages of southern Xinjiang in the context of disaster adaptation

With southern Xinjiang as the research object, this work conducted a literature review and a questionnaire survey and identified the disaster resilience DNA that has been continuously inherited in southern Xinjiang from four aspects: industry, ecology, organization and management, and building space. Based on this identification, the study constructed the evaluation index system and comprehensive evaluation function of resilience gene inheritance of traditional villages. Then, the inheritance degrees of four types of traditional villages in southern Xinjiang were quantitatively evaluated. The results show that: ① The overall level of resilience gene inheritance of traditional villages is medium to high, and there is little internal difference. ② From the contribution of the village gene inheritance evaluation score, architectural spatial resilience gene inheritance is the main factor that affects the evaluation level of the village inheritance degree, followed by the industrial resilience gene. ③ Kuramulek Village, which belongs to the characteristic protection category, has high disaster resilience gene inheritance, and Yanghai New Village, which belongs to the withdrawal and relocation category, has the lowest level of gene inheritance. Thus, if it is not particularly necessary, one should not move and merge an entire village.
