Morphological Analysis and Zoning of Traditional Settlements Landscape in Anhui Province
The morphological analysis and zoning of traditional settlement landscape is of great signifi-cance for rural cultural preservation and revitalization.Based on the extraction of building elements,this study accurately captures the landscape form characteristics of regional traditional settlements.By integrating both spatial morphology and spatial relationships,descriptive indicators for traditional set-tlement landscape forms are developed.Subsequently,spatial analysis methods are employed to analyze the morphological characteristics of traditional settlement landscapes and to classify them into distinct zones.Using 455 traditional settlements in Anhui Province as research samples,the study shows that:1)The deep learning model can effectively extract architectural elements of traditional settlements and its overall accuracy exceeds 94%.2)The landscape forms of traditional settlements in Anhui Province exhibit significant spatial proximity and similarity.The six distinct morphological patterns are identi-fied.3)Based on morphological patterns,traditional settlement landscapes in Anhui Province are divid-ed into five landscape zones:regular hierarchical zone,strip-arranged zone,centripetal closed-group zone,fan-shaped centripetal closed zone and mixed diverse zone.
