Abstract:
The concentrated and contiguous development of traditional Chinese villages is imminent, and the realization of their symbiotic and coordinated development has become both a priority and a challenge. Taking 370 traditional villages in Western Hunan as the research object, a GIS spatial analysis method was used to identify and extract the sources of traditional villages in Western Hunan, construct traffic resistance surfaces, identify traffic corridors and traffic nodes based on circuit theory, and construct and optimize the symbiotic traffic network of traditional villages in Western Hunan. The results show that the symbiotic traffic network of traditional villages in Western Hunan is composed of 47 traditional village sources, 77 traffic corridors, and 68 key traffic nodes, which are concentrated in the northwest and southeast of Western Hunan, showing a spider-like structure. The distribution of traditional village sources shows the characteristics of a high distribution in the north and a low distribution in the middle, and the traffic resistance surface shows spatial characteristics of being high in the north and low in the south. Four traffic corridor optimization principles and five key traffic node restoration strategies are proposed. This study provides a new concept underlying, and method for, the planning and construction of the symbiotic transport network of traditional villages in Western Hunan, promoting the centralized protection and utilization of traditional villages and the coordinated symbiotic development of regions and assisting in the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.
