Abstract

To explore new methods for the conservation and utilization of traditional villages, a research path of “spatial distribution analysis–traditional village classification–pattern language identification” was constructed. First, the spatial distribution characteristics of traditional villages in Enshi Prefecture were analyzed. Then, the factors influencing the distribution characteristics were explored, and traditional village types were classified. Finally, the Production-Living-Ecological space pattern languages (PLES-PLs) of traditional villages were identified. The results show the following: (1) Traditional villages in Enshi Prefecture exhibit a clustered distribution at the macro level, mainly concentrated in the central and southwestern regions, but the distribution is unbalanced across counties and cities. (2) Five Production-Living-Ecological space pattern languages were identified, namely Nested Pattern, Ring-Shaped Pattern, Guided Pattern, Juxtaposed Pattern, Semi-Enclosed Pattern.
