Abstract: Rapid urbanization has driven great changes in China’s rural areas. In order to adapt to the changes in the internal elements and external regulation of the countryside, rural reconfiguration, i.e., to make rural development more adaptable to the spatial pattern of social development through optimal allocation and effective management, can achieve structural optimization and functional improvement within the rural territorial system. This study selects Hongshanyao Town of Jinchang City as the study area, constructs a structural equation model and an adaptability evaluation system to investigate the suitability of rural settlement layout, and constructs a differentiated and suitable rural settlement reconstruction model for different villages based on meeting farmers’ wishes, to intending to serve the current major national strategic needs and solve the real dilemmas faced by rural areas in the process of urban-rural transformation and development. The corresponding strategies are proposed, which provide a theoretical basis for future village development and spatial reconfiguration practices in rural areas, and are of great significance for realizing rural revitalization as well as village planning and construction.
