Abstract:

The purpose of the influencing elements contributing to the spatial arrangement of national folk settlements in Shaanxi province of China. One hundred thirteen national folk settlements in the Shaanxi province of China were picked as the research objects in the paper. The spatial distribution characteristics for the selected national folk settlements located in the Shaanxi province of China were carried out to reveal the interconnection between the placement of folk settlements and the natural environment, social economy, history and culture, river distribution, and so forth by using the image registration technology of arcgis. The study found: There are apparent regional variances in the geographic arrangement of national folk settlements in Shaanxi, and two sizeable high-density agglomeration areas have been formed. There are differences in the preservation and protection of national folk settlements in different altitudes, and there are more national folk settlements in low-altitude areas. The existing national folk settlements are primarily distributed along the riverbanks or in the developed water system areas, closely related to production and life. Regional economic development and the protection of national folk settlements are not contradictory in theory, and localities should find suitable paths to protect national folk settlements.
