Abstract:
From the perspective of a Beautiful and Harmonious Countryside, this paper constructs an evaluation system for village landscape based on three key landscape control elements: natural beauty, architectural beauty, and cultural beauty. Using 39 characteristic conservation villages in Lujiang County, Hefei City, Anhui Province as evaluation samples, the method of GIS spatial analysis is applied to reveal habitat selection patterns and the impact mechanisms of evaluation factors within the county level. The results indicate the following: 1) There is a positive spatial correlation between natural and cultural scores among the conservation villages in Lujiang County, while architectural scores exhibit a near-random distribution. Villages with high scores have a significant influence on nearby villages, with cultural factors playing a more critical role in obtaining higher ratings. 2) In terms of influencing factors, village landscape evaluation scores are determined by a combination of natural and cultural factors, including topography, road and water networks, land use, population, and cultural resources. Villages predominantly locate in areas with low elevation, gentle slopes, and relatively abundant water resources. 3) In the construction of a Beautiful and Harmonious Countryside, natural beauty serves as the foundation, architectural beauty as the medium, and cultural beauty as an essential manifestation of rural aesthetics. Village landscapes should reflect 'harmony' and 'beauty' by integrating local cultural resources, thus enhancing the appeal of local culture. The findings provide scientific support for the construction of Beautiful and Harmonious Countryside and offer valuable insights for related research.
