Abstract

This paper takes 22 traditional villages in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, which have been
selected into the list of traditional villages in Jiangsu Province as the research object, and uses
field research, literature review, data analysis and other methods to analyze the spatial
distribution and formation mechanism of traditional villages from the dimensions of location,
terrain, and administration. The results show that: 1) The traditional villages in Xuzhou City
are distributed in a "strip" shape in space as a whole, with the spatial layout characteristics of
"strip distribution, overall cohesion, and local dispersion". The basic pattern of "strip"
distribution of traditional villages in Xuzhou City is shaped by such factors as terrain
characteristics and regional development distribution; 2) According to classification,
the landscape mechanism of traditional villages in Xuzhou can be summarized into four forms:
fishbone type, surrounded type, net type, and free type. Based on these three forms, rural
settlements form the basic pattern of loose type, surrounded type, compact type, and intensive
traditional village spatial mechanism in Xuzhou area.
