“…The related research of landscape ecology mainly focuses on ecological sustainability-related issues (Chen & Liu, 2014;Norton et al, 2016;Potschin & Haines-Young, 2013), landscape ecology that emphasizes the interaction between spatial patterns and environmental processes, and the causes and consequences of spatial heterogeneity at different scales ( Turner & Gardner, 2015, p. 2). In addition, some scholars use space syntax to objectively describe the spatial structure and characteristics from the three aspects of Connection, Depth, and Integration and explore the relationship between spatial morphology and human behavior and activities (Liu, 2018;Yang et al, 2019;Zou & Liu, 2021). Although the above three technologies are all quantitative analysis and are different from GIS and RS technology, spatial grammar is also the theory of quantitative analysis of spatial form; it can measure space with mathematical models and abstract the relationship between areas into a connection diagram.…”

Rural space is where rural folks live and rely on and is also a vital conduit for rural social and economic growth. Its distinct attractiveness from cities, is reflected in its unique and rich spatial shapes and dynamic layout. However, challenges have arisen in most of China's rural areas due to globalization and urban-rural convergence, necessitating the re-organization and re-planning of rural spaces. Since 1978, the Chinese government has aggressively pursued a series of new socialist rural policies, such as the construction of beautiful rural areas and the revitalization of the rural regions, to address many of the problems that have arisen due to industrialization and urbanization. This paper used the systematic review as an analysis method and explored the transformation of rural spatial form. The authors separated rural spaces into ecological, productive, and dwelling environments. According to the authors' assessment of the literature, the rural spatial form has undergone the following changes: (1) Rural production space has grown on the premise of occupying ecological and living areas, which is influenced by changes in the industrial structure; (2) The rise of rural tourism promotes the diversification of production and living space; (3) Rural tourism, modernization development, and rural living environment policies all have a direct impact on the surface form of living space. In a nutshell, the combined effects of society, economy, and politics have resulted in a change in the rural spatial layout.

“…Some scholars also specifically explored the influence of the hierarchical system in traditional culture on spatial relations. Zou et al conducted a syntactic analysis of Zhang Guiying Village dwellings, and found that the symmetrical arrangement of dwellings along the central axis was a reflection of the hierarchical order of feudal patriarchy [25]. Seo et al analyzed the traditional Korean dwellings under Confucian ideology in different social eras, and stated that dwellings, as a medium for materializing social hierarchy, were influenced by the class system [26].…”

A Comparative Study on the Spatial Layout of Hui-Style and Wu-Style Traditional Dwellings and Their Culture Based on Space Syntax

et al. 2023

Hui-style and Wu-style traditional dwellings adopt different connection modes, reflecting different spatial characteristics and resulting in different spatial layout characteristics. The rationale for this is related to the differences between the two schools of Confucianism culture: the Huizhou culture emphasizes the commercial application of Confucianism and pays more attention to the idea of commercialization, and the space exhibits a certain degree of freedom, while the Wuzhou culture emphasizes the official application of Confucianism and pays more attention to the idea of officialization, and the space is more systematic compared to Hui-style traditional dwellings, more profoundly articulating the traditional notions of propriety. Therefore, this paper attempts to explore the correspondence between the spatial layout of traditional dwellings and Confucianism culture through a comparative analysis of the spatial layout characteristics of the two schools of traditional dwellings, and to provide reference for similar studies.

“…In particular, specific public areas that are defined as core spaces differ in accordance with the surrounding environment [22]. According to an analysis and interpretation of spatial features of traditional buildings in Zhangguying village and Laodong village in western Hunan province, China, the spatial structure of traditional buildings in Zhangguying village reflects the hierarchical order of feudal patriarchy, while traditional buildings in Laodong village do not have an obvious hierarchical order [23].…”

Research on the Cultural Tracing of the Patriarchal Clan System of Traditional Buildings in the Eastern Zhejiang Province, China, Based on Space Syntax: The Case Study of Huzhai in Shaoxing

The patriarchal clan system is an important prerequisite for the formation and development of Chinese traditional culture. The spatial layout and space usage of traditional buildings are intimately related to patriarchal culture. Thus, analyzing the spatial layout and usage is an effective way to trace the culture of traditional buildings. In this study, a typical traditional building named Huzhai in eastern Zhejiang was examined as an example. The spatial layout characteristics of Huzhai and different space usage relations corresponding to different users under the influence of the patriarchal clan system were investigated through “all lines” analysis in space syntax. In this process, traditional ritual activities were considered crucial for tracing the culture of traditional buildings in the eastern Zhejiang province. The results demonstrate that spatial layout and the usage of traditional buildings in the eastern Zhejiang province have led to “class” distinctions under the influence of patriarchal culture. The sacrificial activities of families further emphasize the class distinctions of building space. The differences in building space usage among different classes reflect the unequal distribution of social resources in China’s traditional feudal society. These differences reflect the inequality of space mastership and control among different classes that are a result of the unequal distribution of social resources in China.
