Abstract

The characteristics of the daily behaviors of village residents and their symbiotic relationship with the environment play important roles in optimizing the spatial configuration of villages and promoting the sustainable development of the villages and the environment. This paper used the questionnaire survey method and the field observation method, collected the data of different residents’ activities by interviews and surveys in Meiwu Village, Gannan Prefecture, and analyzed the characteristics of the local residents’ behaviors and activities, as well as their interaction with spaces from the perspective of time. The results showed that the types of daily activities of village residents in alpine pastoral areas can be divided into four types: life type, survival type, leisure type, and folk type, and there were significant differences in the types of daily activities and the corresponding spaces of the different groups. Residents’ daily behaviors determine the choice and construction of the village spaces, and residents lifestyles promote the functional transformation of the living spaces. On the other hand, the village spaces can also affect the behavioral activities. This study is helpful to improve the method of evaluating the daily living spaces of pastoral villages based on residents’ behaviors, and the conclusion of the empirical study has certain guiding significance for the rural planning of alpine pastoral areas under the humanistic concept.
