The study aims to explore the spatial patterns of traditional villages and identify the influencing factors affecting their distribution.
Analysis of 1334 national-level traditional villages using ArcGIS-based spatial analysis tools.
Utilization of GeoDetector, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models.
Identification of village clusters and overlaying historical transportation routes.
Traditional villages show a clustered distribution along a southwest-northeast axis, with a spatial structure of 'one ring, six cores, and multiple zones'.
Road network density and average annual temperature are the most significant influences, with a q value of 0.3821 indicating strong interaction effects.
Five distinct village clusters identified, illustrating varied topographical and cultural characteristics.
