Abstract: Traditional villages are the treasures of China's traditional culture. The southern Hunan region has been a strategic location since ancient times, where village cultures have been constantly intermingled. Therefore, conducting a classification and zoning study of village landscape groups can aid in the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the continuous protection of villages. In view of this, 203 national-level traditional villages in southern Hunan are taken as research samples to establish a village landscape identification system encompassing nature, culture, layout, architecture, and other aspects. The K-modes clustering method is utilized to identify the village landscape types, and combined with GIS spatial statistics, the cultural landscape zoning of traditional villages in southern Hunan was obtained. The results indicate that: 1) The traditional villages in southern Hunan exhibit distinct characteristics, and four landscape genes can be identified, namely Qi opera, incense fire dragon, warped gable, and Yao community altar. 2) The traditional villages can be divided into five landscape subdivisions: the multiethnic Xiang-speaking plain village landscape area in the north, the Han-Gan-speaking plain village landscape area in the east, the Han-Hakka-speaking mountainous village landscape area in the southeast, the Han-Mandarinvernacular mixed-speaking hill village landscape area in the central part, and the Yao-Mandarin-vernacular mixedspeaking hill village landscape area in the southwest.
