Analysis of the evolutionary process of traditional village spatial pattern: The case of Gaoyi village in Western Hunan, China.

ABSTRACT: The examination of the characteristic law of traditional village transformation over time represents a vital nexus in cultural heritage preservation and the transmission of vernacular culture. Historical event points were used to augment village development information, facilitating the restoration of the village's historical pattern. Geographical analysis methods, including Standard Deviation Ellipse Analysis (SDSEA), Nearest Neighbor Analysis (NNA), and Source-Destination Analysis (SDA), were employed to explore the characteristics of the village's geographical center of gravity, changes in concentration and dispersion, and functional transfer. The stepwise progression of the village's evolution was investigated, as well as the mechanism of residents' behavior during the evolution proces
