This methodology can efficiently enhance the understanding of morphology and planning ideologies of heritage settlements by applying quantitative approaches to clustering settlements based solely on block pattern. For method validation, 37 typical colonial heritage settlements in the Americas is conducted as empirical study through the following process: first, quantifying block morphology; second, identifying block pattern types by K-means clustering; third, applying hierarchical clustering referring to the proportion of block pattern types within each case, resulting in the identification of four categories of “strategic core”, “corridor node”, “resource spot” and “overseas new town”; lastly, three key planning ideologies—“order”, “efficiency” and “practicality”—that shaped these settlements are derived from classification results accordingly.

Therefore, this study used the 1920s’ historical map of the Huainan Area to extract vector data such as the canal and road networks and the location of salt settlements, and then used space syntax to describe the transportation network morphology and settlement distribution structure to respond to the contradictions with higher precision. It was found that at a 2000 m × 2000 m raster resolution, the measurements of the canal network were well correlated (<em>p</em> = 0.645, <em>r</em> = 30,000) with the salt settlement distribution. Moreover, the canal network was closer to a network-like than a tree-like structure, and vertical linkage emerged.

The research compares eye movements as Landscape Architecture students explore different learning materials, considering spatial scale, dimensions, and degree of detail. Additionally, influential factors such as problem difficulty and students' ability levels are examined. Results reveal that students experience significantly less visual attention pressure in Landscape Architecture-specific Spatial Ability tests, suggesting that those at a rudimentary level easily access and accept spatial learning materials in this domain due to visual coherency and real-world spatial familiarity. Furthermore, spatial scale emerges as a significant factor affecting recognition patterns, indicating higher levels of visual attention required for large-scale spatial design drawings. The findings suggest that neurophysiological data, such as eye-tracking, is effective in understanding students' challenges and mental pressures in learning visual communication skills in Landscape Architecture education.
