Exploring the Design of Community Square in Rural Henan based on Cultural Identity

Against the backdrop of China's official rural revitalisation strategy, the development of village tourism in Henan has been fast-tracked, which has led to the destruction of village landscapes and the gradual disappearance of the original locally preferred landscapes. New village community squares lack cultural connotation. The design of village community squares lacks appropriate methods and sustainable development. This paper adopts the qualitative research method, sums up the valuable experience by analysing the relevant cases at home and abroad, explores the design of Henan villages community squares based on cultural identity, and puts forward the basic characteristics and design principles that the design logic of Henan villages community squares should have. It is hoped that the theoretical viewpoints of this study can contribute to the enhancement of cultural identity of village community landscapes in Henan Province, and at the same time provide a theoretical basis for the design and construction of villages community squares in Henan.
