“…The rural landscape is a complex object. Most of the related studies have analyzed the research objects only in terms of visual esthetics [59], landscape ecology [60], landscape spatial patterns [31,61,62] or landscape perceptions [63] and are unable to grasp the whole picture of the studied villages in a more complete manner.…”

To achieve the transition of rural areas from traditional to modern, the visualization of rural landscape data and feature evaluations are essential. Landscape character assessment (LCA) is a well-established tool that was developed to assess and understand rural landscape features. In recent years, drones have become increasingly attractive for various applications and services due to their low costs and relative ease of operation. Unlike most previous studies that relied solely on drone-based remote sensing or visual esthetic evaluations, this study proposes an innovative assessment method based on landscape characteristic assessment (LCA) and oblique drone photography technology, supported by specific data and survey results. These include various landscape metrics, such as the Shannon diversity index (SHDI), Shannon evenness index (SHEI), vegetation coverage, landscape character zoning, and delineations of various ecologically sensitive areas. This method was applied to study Zhanqi Village in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China and revealed some unique characteristics of this village. By categorizing and describing the landscape features, the study makes judgments and decisions about them. This is a beneficial attempt to apply the scientific methods of landscape assessments to the production management of aerial drone surveys. This method provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating rural landscape features and demonstrates that the combination of LCA and oblique drone photography technology is feasible for rural landscape research. Additionally, this study emphasizes the need for further research to explore the potential application of this method in continuously evolving urban and rural environments in the future.

“…The integration of geographic information systems (GISs) has enabled the application of advanced techniques such as kernel density analysis and spatial correlation and regression analyses [20][21][22]. These methods have significantly contributed to a macroregional comprehension of the spatiotemporal patterns in village spaces [23][24][25]. A key field of focus is the examination of the distribution characteristics and driving factors of traditional villages [16,23,26,27].…”

Assessment of the spatial distribution and accessibility of traditional villages is closely related to their development. However, the impacts of spatial heterogeneity on the accessibility of traditional villages remain largely unknown. A total of 644 national-level traditional villages in the Jiangnan region were used to explore the spatial heterogeneity impact with a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. We found: (1) spatially, the villages exhibit a predominant aggregation distribution pattern with significant local spatial disparities (R < 1, p < 0.01), predominantly originating from the Song and Ming dynasties (59.21%). Their clustering shifts from northeast to southwest, with over 70% of the villages located on slopes ranging from 0° to 20° and within 1 km of water. (2) The accessibility of these villages is generally low, with 85.66% being accessible within 200 ~ 300 min; it decreases concentrically outwards from Changzhou and exhibits clustering autocorrelation characteristics (Moran’s I > 0, Z > 2.58). (3) Road network density, elevation, and slope are significantly correlated with accessibility (p < 0.05), demonstrating pronounced spatial heterogeneity in their effects, with these factors collectively explaining approximately 85% of the accessibility levels. These findings provide a basis for comprehensive planning and categorized strategies for traditional villages.
