This study selected 19 representative Yao rural settlements in the Nanling Corridor area as research samples. Based on the map-based method,aspect ratio,shape index,and fractional quantification were used to analyze the boundary morphology and graphic characteristics of Yao rural settlements. The results show that Yao rural settlements exhibit three types of boundary morphological characteristics:cluster-like,cluster-like finger-shaped,and finger-shaped with no clear tendency. The boundary graphic characteristics are presented in two states:smooth-simple and fragmented-complex. The boundary patterns of cluster-liked settlements tend to be smooth and simple,with cluster-like finger-shaped settlements and finger-shaped settlements with no clear tendency to be more fragmented and complex. The boundary shape of Yao rural settlements is primarily influenced by natural factors like topography and river systems,as well as human factors such as clan culture and social economy. Based on this,relevant suggestions are put forward to promote the preservation and development of Yao rural settlements in the Nanling Corridor.
