Analysis of Spatial Genes and Research on Influencing Mechanisms of Oasis Rural Settlements on the Northern Slope of Tianshan Mountains
Spatial genes contain spatial information formed by the interaction between settlements and the environment,playing an important role in the inheritance of spatial characteristics.Due to the unique natural environment on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang,settlements have formed interactive and evolving spatial patterns.This study takes them as an example and collects 12 typical settlement samples through satellite images and 3D data.On the basis of extracting spatial genes from five aspects:natural environment,spatial fragment morphology,settlement morphology,road network morphology,and topological connection,a settlement spatial gene map is constructed.Factor analysis and cluster analysis methods are used to classify settlements,and explain the environmental spatial interactive influence patterns behind it.Suggestions are proposed for protection and renovation in order to provide reference for the study of spatial genes in rural settlements in different regions,and provide research ideas for the classification of settlement types,protection and development of rural characteristics.
