Research on Two-Level Village Classification in Spatial Planning of Cities and Counties:A Case Study of Naidong District,Shannan City
In order to implement classified guidance effectively,it is essential to scientifically and reasonably determine the types of villages according to local conditions.Within the flexible and diversified classifications of villages in various regions,the adoption of the scale of natural settlements has emerged as a recent innovative source.The traditional classification process of villages,which typically revolves solely around administrative villages,is expanded herein using the case study of Naidong district,Shannan city,Xizang autonomous region,to formulate the dual-level village classification framework integrating both natural settlements and administrative village scales.The study concluded that the spatial heterogeneity of natural settlements within administrative villages and the solidification of settlement development are important conditions for the dual-level village classification theoretical model.The study proposes that the dual-level village classification method comprises three main components:the natural settlement classification method involving"policy determination,potential assessment,and town-village brewing",the method of transitioning from natural settlements to administrative villages using"proportion calculation,matrix construction,and systematic clustering",and the generation method for administrative village classification schemes based on secondary town-village brewing.The specific classification process needs to be implemented in five main stages:settlement qualitative determination,settlement assessment,settlement classification,type conversion,and administrative village classification.The theoretical model has been practically applied in the territorial and spatial planning of Naidong district,Shannan city,identifying five types of natural settlements,formulating two types of administrative village recognition rules,namely dominant and balanced types,and proposing a four-category administrative village classification scheme termed"integration,conservation,aggregation,and transformation".The classification process and the results of the work have received positive feedback from local authorities,validating the effectiveness of the dual-level approach.This study aims to enrich the village classification layout ideas for territorial and spatial planning at municipal-level.
