The study aims to quantify the spatial distribution and identify the driving mechanisms of traditional villages in southern Shanxi for effective conservation strategies.
Utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map and analyze spatial distribution.
Employed the optimal parameter-based geographical detector model for assessing driving factors.
Analyzed multiple factors including environmental, socio-economic, and cultural elements.
Traditional villages exhibit a 'one belt, three cores' spatial agglomeration pattern.
Cultural heritage density had a q-value of 0.45, highlighting its role as the primary driver of village formation.
The strongest interaction effect was noted between slope and annual mean temperature, with a q-value of 0.56.
