Research on the sustainable development of scenic-dependent rural spaces: A Case Study of Heping Village

Scenic-dependent rural areas, as a distinct category of rural spaces, are a significant element that cannot be overlooked in China's current efforts towards sustainable rural development. This study focuses on the spatial issues encountered during the development of scenic-dependent rural areas, taking Heping Village as a case study. It emphasizes the needs of the users and employs Space Syntax to analyze spatial patterns at three levels: points, lines, and areas. By adjusting the spatial sustainable layout, accessibility, and complexity, a model for sustainable rural spatial development is proposed, characterized by "one village, two cores, three axes, four zones, and multiple points." The aim of this model is to reconstruct the inadequacies of spatial arrangement within the village and promote the sustainable development of scenic-dependent rural areas through a symbiotic approach.
