Abstract
As early as the farming era, traditional rural settlements have been deeply rooted in our country. The geographical location of rural settlements is inextricably linked to the natural environment, transportation and social forms. China has continuously increased its modernization and transformed rural settlements with the rapid development of society, which has led to the change in the spatial form of rural settlements and led to the demise of many traditional settlements. Therefore, the culture and traditions are inevitably deplorable. Settlement is the most primitive way of living in China. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and learn the culture as well as correctly transform the rural settlement. This paper aims to study the spatial form of traditional rural settlements. Based on the background research of traditional rural settlement spatial form, this paper discusses the influencing factors of settlement spatial form and the spatial form and evolution of rural settlements.
