Abstract: Inner Mongolia pastoral area is the key area of rural revitalization strategy. Exploring how to improve the well-being of herdsmen and reasonable settlement construction in pastoral area is related to the implementation of rural revitalization strategy. Based on the analytic hierarchy process and entropy method, this paper constructs a pre-evaluation system for pastoral settlements in Inner Mongolia, forms a strategy for the construction of future pastoral settlements, and provides a strategy optimization for the planning of future pastoral settlements by comparing them with the built environment of typical ecological migrant pastoral settlements in Inner Mongolia. The results show that: 1) The overall development of typical ecological settlements is unbalanced and the sustainability is not strong. The living environment and economic construction in pastoral areas are relatively perfect, but domestic sewage cannot be effectively treated and clean energy is not widely available. The lack of cultural construction in pastoral areas is serious, and the use efficiency of social infrastructure is low, which can not meet the needs of herdsmen's life. 2) In terms of the environment, the future pastoral settlement construction should improve the living environment space planning and expand the living room area of herdsmen. On the economic front, we will promote the development of green animal husbandry and the structural transformation of the construction industry, and popularize clean energy. In terms of culture, we should increase the necessary public space for activities and explore various forms of cultural activities. In the social aspect, social service facilities are dynamically coordinated to form a dynamic layout of public facilities in pastoral areas with mobility and adaptability. 3) The conceptual conception model formed based on the pre-evaluation system is roughly the same as the evaluation results of the built environment, indicating that the pre-evaluation system can objectively and accurately reflect the construction situation of settlements in pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia and the needs of herdsmen, and has the possibility of predicting the characteristics of future planning and construction of similar settlements.
