Characteristics,types and differentiated guidance strategies of multi-functional development of traditional villages:A case study of 44 villages in Yixian county,China
Identifying the characteristics and the types of multi-functional development is the practical need of inheritance and protection and revitalized use of traditional villages,which is a key issue of such villages in this process.With the cases of 44 national-level traditional villag-es in Yixian county,the paper adopts the multi-index comprehensive method and the coupling coordination model,and scientifically measures the multi-functional development and the coor-dinated state of the traditional villages,and defines their types,and presents the guidance strate-gies for the protection and development of traditional villages.The results show that:(1)The characteristics of the multi-functional development in Yixian are remarkably different among the traditional villages,with the co-existence of advantage and disadvantage functions.The multi-functional coordination of most villages is in the transitional coordination and dysfunc-tional recession.(2)According to the development of multi-functional coordination,the tradi-tional villages in this county falls into three categories,namely coordinated development,transi-tional coordination and dysfunctional recession.Therefore according to advantage and disad-vantage functions,five sub-types are identified,such as comprehensive development type,resi-dence life type,idyllic sightseeing type,and specialty industry type.(3)Differentiated guidance strategies are adopted for the protection and utilization of different types of villages,i.e.overall upgrading the development quality and regional linkage of coordinated developing villages,promoting the development with characteristics of transitional coordination villages,and shrink-ing and transforming development of dysfunctional recession villages.Multi-functional coordi-nated development is a vital approach to protection and revival of the traditional villages,the differentiated multi-functional system evolution of the traditional villages,and diversity of multi-functional coordinated development lead to the diversification of the protection and utili-zation of the traditional villages.Aiming at the multi-functional coordinated development of tra-ditional villages,the paper reiterates differential guidance for the protection and use of tradition-al villages so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidence for the protection and de-velopment of traditional villages.
