Spatio-temporal evolution and spatial patterns of traditional villages under multi-dimensional influential factors—a case study of Zhejiang Province, China by Yanlong Guo, Yanlong Guo, Longhao Wang, Ning Zhang, Jie Huang

“…A systematic study was carried out.ResultsThe results of the study show that (1) the distribution of traditional villages in Zhejiang Province presents an unbalanced pattern of ‘double core and peripheral dispersion’, mainly concentrated in Lishui and Jinhua, with water resources and topographic conditions as the basis for aggregation; (2) the distribution of villages advances from northeast to southwest, reaching the peak of development in the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, reflecting the changes in national political policies This reflects the far-reaching influence of national political policy changes and ecological changes on village development; (3) Historical, geographic and social factors jointly play a role in the distribution of villages, in which geographic and natural factors such as elevation, precipitation, slope direction and water system dominate the siting and layout of villages.DiscussionThis study identifies the key influence mechanisms of factors such as elevation and water system on the distribution of villages, enriches the understanding of the spatial pattern and development mode of traditional Chinese settlements, and provides references for the sustainable development and cultural preservation of traditional settlements around the world.…”

Research on Sustainable Development Ability and Spatial-Temporal Differentiation of Urban Human Settlements in China and Japan Based on SDGs, Taking Dalian and Kobe as Examples by Xueping Cong, Xueming Li, Songbo Li, Yilu Gong

“…The development level of Kobe is always higher than that of Dalian, and the gap is gradually narrowing; Kobe has advantages in natural and residential environment, while Dalian has advantages in cultural and economic environment. (2) The coordination degree of the development of the HS of the two cities has improved steadily, and the coordination degree of Kobe is better than that of Dalian. (3) The sustainability of the development of the HS of the two cities is fluctuating, and the average sustainable growth rate of Dalian is higher than that of Kobe. (4) The sustainable development space of the HS in Dalian presents a pattern of “high in the south and low in the north,” and the spatial characteristics of the subsystems are different; the main obstacles have changed from economic-natural to economic-natural-cultural-public services, and the obstacles to development in districts are different. (5) The sustainable development space of the HS in Kobe has a high level of development in the southeast, radiating to the surrounding area, and the spatial characteristics of the subsystems are different; the main obstacles have changed from economic-cultural-natural to economic-natural-population, and the obstacles to development in districts are different. …”

Examining the Spatial Disequilibrium and Driving Factors of Population Aging and Elderly Service Resource Allocation in Rural Areas: A Case Study of Wenzhou City by Xiang Xiaoye, Lin Liyue, Xu Shiyu, Huang Tao

“…The results can be summarized as follows: 1) As Wenzhou enters a deeply aging society, the spatial distribution of the elderly population, elderly population density, population aging coefficient, elderly population support ratio, and comprehensive aging index are basically the same, showing a gradually increasing spatial pattern from the municipal district to the peripheral streets of the municipal district to the remote towns; 2) Elderly care service resources in Wenzhou present an asymmetrical and unbalanced north-south spatial distribution pattern with the municipal districts as " diversified supply in municipal streets, basic guarantee in developed coastal towns, and shortage of supply in inland mountainous towns "; 3) The streets of the municipal district have rich elderly care service resources, including Grade 3 general hospitals and comprehensive nursing homes, to provide diversified elderly care services for the elderly in the municipal district; there are many old-age care facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes in Ruian, Yueqing City, and central towns such as Hongqiao and Aojiang, which provide basic old-age security for the elderly in and around the area. …”
