Spatial Sifferentiation and Differentiated Development Paths of Traditional Villages in Yunnan Province

Abstract

Enhancing spatial quality is an important aspect of future studies on the development of traditional villages. From the perspective of spatial vitality, the degree of revitalization and utilization of traditional villages can be visually reflected and thus, corresponding development strategies can be provided. However, existing studies on traditional villages have paid little attention to the relationship between spatial vitality and development. Therefore, this study evaluates the spatial vitality of traditional villages in Yunnan Province based on Sina Weibo sign-in data, analyzes its relationship with spatial distribution characteristics, and finally, proposes development strategies based on different types of traditional villages. The study results show that first, the Sina Weibo sign-in data can well reflect the spatial vitality of traditional villages. Second, there is a significant difference between the spatial vitality of traditional villages and the spatial distribution characteristics, and we summarize the four types of traditional villages based on this difference. Overall, from the perspective of spatial vitality of traditional villages, this study provides differentiated ideas for the protection, spatial enhancement, and development of traditional villages on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also provides feasible references for rural revitalization planning in Yunnan.
