Quantitative analysis and development guidance of the spatial morphology of ancient towns in southern Shaanxi

Abstract

The ancient town is a small town that has survived in history, and its traditional form is basically unchanged. In recent years, some ancient towns have experienced the destruction of the traditional spatial structure, the disappearance of the sense of place, and the breaking of context in the process of economic development. How to not only inherit the historical context, but also meet the current development demands, and improve the connection between history, the present and the future, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the development process of the ancient town. First of all, this article quantitatively analyzes the spatial form of the ancient town in southern Shaanxi from the aspects of physical boundary, land use, street and building. Secondly, on the basis of quantitative analysis, the paper analyzes the reasons for the differences in indicators between different ancient towns from the aspects of environment, economy, transportation and residents' needs. Finally, the author attempts to search for ways to improve the connectivity of history, present and future in the development of ancient towns, in order to provide references for the development of ancient towns at home and abroad.
