Abstract: Heilongjiang Province belongs to the temperate continental monsoon climate. The special climatic conditions have resulted in the creation of unique traditional dwellings, which is a field worth studying. In order to study the spatial form of the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province, we conducted field research, administered a questionnaire survey, and mapped the traditional village dwellings in the region from the 1950s to the 1990s. Through field visits to the village of Aihui and other villages, conversations with the masses, and field measurements of the local traditional dwellings, we summarized the development and evolution process of the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province. With the support of materials and data, this paper discusses the evolution process of the traditional village dwellings from the aspects of housing, space, material, heating, and so on. With the development of the economy, the population is gradually outflowing, which has resulted in housing problems, which are particularly prominent. The speed at which traditional villages are disappearing is also striking. According to official statistics, an average of 1.6 traditional villages disappears every day in China. In order to curb this phenomenon, reasonable suggestions are put forward on issues such as heritage protection and cultural industry development to provide a reference for follow-up research on the traditional village dwellings in Heilongjiang Province.
