“…Considering the efficiency and scientific nature of the research and focusing on the richness of the research sample, this study tries to screen samples that can provide high-density information for the research. This study follows the following principles in selecting research samples of traditional settlements: (1) typicality: qualifying traditional settlements are required to be typical of regional, geographical and cultural characteristics [ 60 , 61 ]. (2) Extensiveness: the selected samples cover the different types of traditional settlements in China as much as possible.…”

The cultural landscape in traditional settlements is an important historical and cultural resource created by human beings in the process of historical evolution, and is an important resource for the development of traditional settlement tourism. This paper selected 21 representative traditional settlements for research using online comments from tourists as data and content analytical methods including high-frequency vocabulary, semantic networks and emotional attitudes to explore the public perspective on the connotations of cultural landscape features in traditional settlements. There are four major findings, showing first that the cultural landscape of traditional settlements contains three core elements. Second, the semantic network relationships of the core elements show a significant central–edge tendency; and third, the emotional perception of cultural landscapes in traditional settlements is generally positive, and there is no significant difference emotionally between each core element. Last, the public’s perception of the cultural connotations of the landscape is seriously insufficient. Based on the research results, planning suggestions and countermeasures for the conservation and utilization of cultural landscapes in traditional settlements are proposed.

“…At present, many scholars are studying ancient towns from different angles, and research on ancient towns is becoming more and more popular. On the one hand, the researches on ancient towns mainly include cultural development research [1], tourism development research [2 ], conservation and use research [3], spatial perception research [4], architectural morphology research [5], landscape gene research [6], cultural influence factor research [7], commercialisation mechanism research [8], cultural and creative product design strategy research [9 ], and tourist satisfaction evaluation research [10], etc., but the researches on the spatial distribution of military Tunpu and the characteristics of architectural network connectivity have rarely been reported . On the other hand, researches on the ancient Tunpu in southwest China have mostly focused on culturology, anthropology, sociology, religion studies, education and other aspects [11].…”

The spatial distribution of Qingyan Ancient Town and its military wisdom are studied using Thiessen polygons, fractal theory and complex networks methods with Qingyan Ancient Town as the object of study, in order to clarify the characteristics of the architectural layout of the military-type ancient towns in southwest China since the Ming Dynasty. The results show that the architectural spaces of the six districts of Qingyan Ancient Town have good self-similarity and complexity, the architectural space forms of the six districts are mainly influenced by the natural geomorphology, all of them are agglomerated and distributed, and their architectural space layout form structure and function are consistent. Besides, the functional variability of the building space will have an impact on the connectivity characteristics of the building network, the greater the density of the building space network, the greater the network degree centrality potential, the more uneven the distribution of nodes, the more obvious the centripetal tendency, the better the network connectivity. The architectural network of Qingyan Ancient Town is characterised by low vulnerability, good stability and strong connectivity, reflecting the wisdom of the architectural layout within Qingyan Ancient Town, which is based on the military connectivity function of efficient and close cooperation of the inhabitants, taking into account the economic trade and cultural life, thus forming a complete military Tunpu small society. Second, the functional difference of subjectivity leads to the connectivity of architectural spatial network with hierarchical and graded characteristics, and the natural factors, human factors and social system factors of traditional villages, ancient towns and ancient settlement sites in southwest China affect the connectivity of architectural spatial network, the connectivity of the architectural spatial network of traditional settlements signifies the intrinsic laws of nature and society, and connectivity can characterise the laws of the natural and social environment in which traditional settlements were created. Finally, this study can provide a scientific reference for the conservation planning, design and construction management of military Tunpu ancient towns.
