Spatial distribution of traditional village is the key factor for the sustainable development of rural tourism. Analyzing distribution characteristics and development conditions of traditional villages have profound implications for rural revitalization and all-for-one tourism. Firstly, this research introduced the characteristics and historic value of traditional villages in each region of Shaanxi province. Secondly, this paper analyzed the spatial distribution characteristics of 323 provincial-level traditional villages by using the method of quantitative geography through geographic information systems (GIS). Then, according to spatial type division, this research divided the spatial distribution of rural tourism in Shaanxi province into five areas, including linear tourist area, facial health area, distributed leisure area, low-density scenic area, selfdriving tourist area. Finally, this paper summarized the development conditions of rural tourism in Shaanxi's traditional villages and took case studies. The natural environment, social economy, and historical culture are crucial conditions for the sustainable development of traditional villages, influencing the spatial distribution of these villages. This paper summarized the spatial distribution of rural tourism development and proposed a guide for future space planning and construction for all-for-one tourism in other areas through empirical research on spatial distribution. Meanwhile, this research provides new ideas for rural revitalization.

Purpose The protection of traditional grassroots place-making knowledge and skills that comprise valuable intangible heritage has not been attracting enough attention in the field of post-disaster reconstruction and recovery. Based on the Guchengping Village’s reconstruction that followed the Lushan earthquake (Sichuan, China), the purpose of this paper is to identify the benefits of a co-design approach for post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, in order to ascertain various stakeholders’ contributions toward the protection of community-based intangible place-making heritage. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative method was employed to assist the professional designers in facilitating the co-design approach by bridging governments closer together with local communities. At the governmental level, focus groups and personal interviews were conducted to discover the government’s role in preserving the communities’ intangible heritage. At the community level, community-based workshops and family-based design partnerships engaged various community stakeholders to decipher their roles and contributions toward advancing the heritage age. Findings As the advocates of intangible heritage, all levels of government guaranteed that intangible heritage would be safeguarded in the government strategic plans. At the community level, local residents played a fundamental role as the grassroots protectors. Professional designers utilized cutting edge technologies to improve weaknesses found in the traditional knowledge and skills, by performing the protection in practice. Community-based service agencies promoted the value of heritage to address societal issues. Originality/value The co-design approach offered a new method of intangible heritage protection in post-disaster reconstruction and recovery by engaging different stakeholders, in order to effectively transfer the governmental strategic plans into community-based action plans, and in turn, enabled the grassroots voice to inform the government policies.

A shaking table test for a bridge foundation reinforced with the front and back rows of anti-slide piles on a gravel soil slope was designed. The test results were obtained by loading El Centro waves with different peak accelerations. It was not an advantage for the deformation of bridge pile foundation while the distance between the front-row anti-slide piles and pier was large. The back-row anti-slide piles played a major role in seismic reinforcement, and the peak bending moment of the pile shaft and the peak earth pressure behind the pile had a triangular distribution. The distance from the crack to the sliding surface of the anti-slide pile was approximately one fifth of the length of the anchoring section. As the crack propagated, the bearing capacity of the pile shaft decreased gradually. Since the influence of pier inertia force and soil horizontal thrust, a peak negative bending moment and a peak positive bending moment were observed near the pile top and the sliding surface respectively. The rate of attenuation of the bending moment from the top of the pile along its depth was related to the resistance of the soil around the pile. The stress-induced deformation of the pile foundation behind the pier was larger than that in front of the pier. The peak ground acceleration (PGA) amplification factor of the slope had a vertical amplification effect and a layered distribution. The acceleration responses of the sliding section and the steep slope section were strong, while the acceleration responses of the region between the bridge pier and the back-row anti-slide piles were weak. With the increase in the vibration intensity, the soil damping ratio increased and the PGA amplification factor decreased. The feasibility of analyzing the acceleration response of the slope model by the two-dimensional equipotential map was experimentally verified.
