Research on the optimization of the spatial structure of the rural complex based on spatial syntax–the example of Fushan village in Pingjiang County

ABSTRACT

To revitalize the national-level Rural Complex construction pilot initiative, the Ministry of Finance issued a Notice on further enhancing the pilot work of Rural Complex construction on 8 May 2021 in China. Although idyllic complexes have been widely studied, the application of map data analysis techniques in their planning and construction has been relatively limited, and most of the research results are dominated by the theoretical research level. We employ spatial morphology and structure by utilizing spatial analysis software and spatial syntax analysis. The quantified data results are compared to demonstrate the relationship between regional spatial structure and social characteristics. This comparison aids in enhancing the social service features of the spatial syntax within the field complex. This research aims to provide valuable scientific guidance and practical insights for the field complex’s research and construction.
