Abstract: The village planning paradigm for implementing the goal of territorial space use regulation across all elements and regions has not yet been established, and the relevant village planning ideas urgently need improvement. This study employs the literature research method and text semantic analysis method to analyze the relationship between territorial space use regulation and village planning. It summarizes the four-stage development process of territorial space use regulation and village planning, which have transitioned from separation to unity, by reviewing relevant policy texts in China since 1949. Furthermore, based on the challenges faced by village planning in implementing territorial space use regulation, such as the regulation rules yet to be clarified, the lack of flexibility in regulation content, and the difficulty in highlighting key regulatory focuses, the study proposes ideas for improving village planning. These include strengthening the regulation rules for the 'three types of space', coordinating the symbiotic relationship among the 'three lines and three zones', and paying attention to the use regulation of 'gray space' in villages. This paper provides direction and a reference for optimizing village planning from the perspective of territorial space use regulation.
