“…This township road is generally running east-west, and the courtyard according to the township road can also meet the demand of residential houses facing south since ancient times, plus the undulation of the terrain, the settlement is high in the north and low in the south, and the light is not affected. Therefore, the existing village are in eastwest long strip, houses are also built according to the The characteristics of rural areas are small size, wide distribution, and significant impact of topography [16][17][18]. However,the process of tourism development and large-scale construction, turned the rural living environment into a"miniature bonsai"and deprived it of its profound cultural ambiance [19][20][21].…”

Traditional settlements are vital carriers of Chinese history and culture, reflecting the direct and original needs of generations. However, the modernization of settlements will inevitably disrupt the spontaneous growth patterns inherent in traditional settlements. The degree of disorder of the settlement is not only the embodiment of its form, but also the concrete manifestation of its construction intention. We use the degree of disorder in settlements to assess the construction intentions of the settlements, the results allow us to assess whether new planning aligns with the original construction logic, thereby assessing the extent of interference by modernization in traditional villages. This can provide guidance and assistance for settlement conservation and future planning. By using the Delaunay triangulation network, street polar histogram and direction entropy, and comprehensibility of settlements, this paper quantitatively analyzes the degree of disorder in the three levels of architecture, street and local environment of the settlement. Liangjia Village, the example in this research, is divided into three areas—two new and one old. degree of disorders in architecture, streets, and local environment are calculated and compared with the overall settlement. The study finds that the construction logic for buildings and streets remains stable throughout development. However, notable differences exist in environmental construction principles between new and old sections. The analysis suggests that traditional settlements, guided by inherent principles, maintain stability under external influences, serving as a benchmark for future planning and modernization decisions.

Traditional settlements are important material carriers of Chinese history and culture. After hundreds of years of development, the traditional settlements have survived until now, and the bottom-up construction mode reflects the most direct and original demands of the aborigines of all generations. The degree of disorder of the settlement, that is, the degree of its order, is not only the embodiment of its form, but also the concrete manifestation of its construction intention. To explore the intention behind the construction of settlements since ancient times.By using Delaunay triangulation network, street polar histogram and direction entropy, and comprehensibility of settlements, this paper quantitatively analyzes the degree of disorder in the three levels of architecture, street and local environment of the settlement. The paper, combining the background of the settlement, analyzes and compares the causes of the degree of disorder in the three levels of point, line and plane, and then explores the construction ideas of our ancestors for the settlement, so as to provide a scientific basis for the future planning of the settlements.Discovering the inherent construction principles within traditional settlements helps them maintain relative stability under external interventions. The results of disorder degree analysis serve as a benchmark for future settlement planning, contributing to the scientific basis of future decision-making.

“…In Western research on the quantitative analysis of village forms, the predominant methodologies include numerical analysis, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and spatial syntax analysis. Studies are largely focused on analyzing residents' health conditions [27,28], the development of village economies [29,30], and the research on village spatial forms and distribution [31][32][33][34][35][36]. In the past decade, Chinese scholars have emphasized the use of quantitative analysis methods to investigate the spatial form characteristics, classification, spatial distribution, and causation of traditional villages.…”

This research comprehensively analyzes the spatial morphology of 177 traditional villages within Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. The study delineates these characteristics utilizing a combination of five quantitative measured indices—ratio, boundary, saturation, building density, and dispersion coefficients. Leveraging sophisticated analytical techniques facilitated by “SPSS + GIS” integration, the investigation systematically explores the intricate details of village spatial form. Their overarching distribution patterns, and the determinant factors influencing them, provide insights across both granular and broad-scale dimensions. The aim is to establish a robust quantitative data analysis framework, facilitating a precise description of traditional villages’ spatial dynamics. The findings categorize the spatial morphology of Linxia’s traditional villages into three distinct types: linear multi-point concentration, dense clustering, and irregular dispersion. Common traits among these categories include widespread dispersal, small settlements, and a mix of dwellings. Spatial distribution patterns vary, with dense clusters forming an “olive-shaped” trend in the southeast–northwest direction, while irregularly dispersed villages develop along mountains and valleys, exhibiting multi-core structures. Additionally, linear multi-point concentrated villages display a random, multi-point distribution interspersed with dense clusters. The survival strategies of these commercial, subsistence, and resource-based villages are shaped by a confluence of factors such as elevation, river proximity, ancient road networks, and the interplay between Han Chinese and Tibetan cultural influences. The implications of this study are significant for understanding traditional village dynamics, promoting sustainable development, and refining quantitative methods for rural studies.
