The growing contradiction between rural economic development and ecological environmental degradation urgently needs to be addressed. Under the guidance of the Party and the state, there is a strong emphasis on green rural development, making the transformation of the rural green development path imperative. This paper takes rural ecological development as the research basis and innovatively integrates the “educational research” model, aiming to provide practical strategies for the sustainable development of abandoned mine rural landscapes. Taking Datukuang in Xinhe Village, Dadukou District, Chongqing as an example, this project breaks through the technical path dependence of traditional engineering restoration, creatively implants research function modules such as natural education, geological science popularization, and ecological experience, transforming the abandoned mine pit into a composite ecological education demonstration base integrating environmental restoration, science popularization education, and cultural tourism experience. It has opened up a new paradigm for rural revitalization with “mine restoration + research economy”, providing an innovative practice sample for solving the transformation dilemma of resource-based villages.</p> Xi Long Ni Lan Yuan Zhang Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) 2025-08-06 2025-08-06 9 4 64 70 10.26689/jard.v9i4.11508 Research on Dimension Analysis of Spectative Buildings Based on Fractal Theory https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JARD/article/view/11532 <p>Based on the fractal theory, this paper takes the form of performing architecture as the research object, and systematically discusses the application value of fractal dimension in architectural design. By expounding the self-affine, self-similarity, and iterative generation characteristics of fractal geometry, the Box-Counting Dimension method is introduced as a quantitative tool to measure the dimensions of the roof plane, facade, and spatial shape of Wuzhen Grand Theatre and Harbin Grand Theatre. The research shows that the geometric complexity of Wuzhen Grand Theater in the “fifth façade” and multi-faceted façade is significantly higher than that of Harbin Grand Theater, and its morphological design is more inclined to echo the texture of the surrounding water towns. The Harbin Grand Theater realizes the dialogue with the natural environment with simple nonlinear lines. The research proves that fractal dimension can effectively quantify the complexity of architectural form, provide a scientific basis for the form design, environmental integration, and form interpretation of performance architecture, and expand the mathematical analysis dimension of architectural form design.</p> Yunyang Zheng Jiayao Zhu Jingjing Guo Hao Hu Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) 2025-08-07 2025-08-07 9 4 71 76 10.26689/jard.v9i4.11532 Practice and Exploration of Critical Path Management from the Perspective of Total Construction Period https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JARD/article/view/11535 <p>This article focuses on the overall construction duration, explaining the core role of the critical path method and its relationship with the total construction period.
