Spatial pattern of characteristic villages and its controlling factors in the Yellow River Basin
[Objective]This study aims to precisely characterize the spatial pattern of characteristic villages in the Yellow River Basin,to reveal the influencing factors,and to provide scientific references for the clustered development and collaborative utilization.[Methods]Five types of traditional villages,ethnic villages,key tourism villages,historical and cultural villages and forest villages in the Yellow River Basin were taken as research objects.Methods such as nearest neighbor index,kernel density estimation,and standard deviation ellipse were used to analyze the spatial distribution direction,density,and characteristics of the characteristic villages.The spatial distribution direction,density,and attributes of characteristic villages were analyzed using methods such as the nearest neighbor index,kernel density estimation,and standard deviation ellipse.Moreover,the geographical detector was used to evaluate their influencing factors.[Results](1)Characteristic villages in the Yellow River Basin were interwoven,exhibiting an overarching spatial pattern of'dense in the southeast and sparse in the northwest'.(2)The spatial heterogeneity of various types of characteristic villages was significant.Traditional villages exhibited a high-density distribution characterized by a spatial pattern:'one core,multiple points',with Shanxi as the'core'and the'multiple points'located in Henan,Shandong,Qinghai and the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi.Forest villages displayed a'belt-like'aggregation,concentrated throughout Henan and Shandong,southern Shaanxi,and western Shanxi.Ethnic villages were predominantly located in areas inhabited by minority groups such as Qinghai,Ningxia and Inner Mongolia.High-density areas of key tourism villages manifested a multi-cores structure,dispersed across the central and eastern parts of the Yellow River Basin.Historical and cultural villages were primarily clustered in the central and southern regions of Shanxi.(3)The controlling factors for different types of characteristic villages exhibited significant variation.[Conclusion]The spatial pattern of characteristic villages in the Yellow River Basin is the result of the combined effects of multiple factors.Natural environmental factors such as topography,climate,and hydrology serve as the fundamental factors.Socio-economic factors such as population,transportation,and economic development are the dominant factors,while ecological environmental factors are the direct influencing factors.
