Research Progress on Rural Settlement Landscape in China Based on CiteSpace
Rural settlements contain the human settlement wisdom formed by geographical differences,which is an important carrier for the continuation and development of traditional culture.By systematically combing relevant literature on rural settlement landscape research,the research progress and hot spot evolution in this field were an-alyzed,and the characteristics and development trend of rural settlement landscape were clarified.Through key-word search,3635 effective and high-quality literature on rural settlement landscape research in China from 1990 to 2023 were obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database.The literature data was impor-ted into CiteSpace 5.7R5 to analyze and draw a visual knowledge graph in this field.The results showed that:①The total number of publications in the CNKI literature database continued to increase from 1990 to 2020.Howev-er,from 2020 to 2023,due to multiple factors,the number of publications declined.The overall publication situa-tion roughly presented four stages:initial exploration,slow development,high-speed growth,and decline.② In the current price range,a total of 8 closely cooperating research teams and 22 core authors have been formed in this field,but the connections between research teams are weak,and the number of publications by core authors is lower than 50%of the total number in Price's Law.In the future,it is necessary to strengthen cooperation among scholars,teams,and institutions.③ There are 10 clustering keywords in the research hotspots,and rural tourism,settlement landscape,landscape design,cultural landscape,and other content have become the current research hotspots.Through research and analysis,this paper explores the role of regional culture in the formation of settle-ment landscapes under the policy background of agriculture,rural areas,and farmers,and proposes that targeted and localized discussions will become a hot topic of attention in this field in the future.
