Construction and Empirical Study of the Evaluation System for the Protection and Development of Traditional Villages: Taking the Traditional Chinese Village in the Yellow River Basin of Henan Province as Example
According to the theory of rural areal system, combined with the first-hand information and data obtained by a large number of field investigations, traditional villages are regarded as a complex rural regional sys-tem composed of four major elements, including traditional architecture, history and culture, resources and environ-ment, society and economy etc. On this basis, following the principles of constructing an evaluation system, refer-ring to the analytic hierarchy method and five-level scoring method, the evaluation system of the traditional village in protection and development was constructed, composed of 4 criteria and 25 indices. Through the empirical test of 15 national traditional villages in the Yellow River Basin of Henan Province, and the practical application of com-parative analysis between some individual villages, it is proved that the evaluation system has an advantage of avail-able data and easy to be calculated, and meanwhile this system shows good reliability and validity.
