Spatial morphology analysis of traditional villages in Western Hubei based on spatial syntax: a case study of Yumu village, Lichuan City

The research on the form of traditional villages has always been the key content in the protection planning of ancient villages. Based on the line segment analysis method of spatial syntax, this paper analyses the external representation and internal structure form of Yumu village, which is actively developing scenic spots, and summarizes the specific expression in the village spatial form and street spatial form. The results show that: 1) the residential area and traffic trunk road of Yumu village expand outward, and the residential buildings show the type of discrete group space with large dispersion and small settlement; 2) affected by internal and external traffic, public space, and other factors, the central and eastern regions of the village are highly integrated and concentrated. 3) The internal spatial pattern of the village is scattered, there are few cultural buildings and cultural relics protection units, and the spatial passage rate and selectivity are low. 4) The reasonable date between global and local integration of the village is only 0.35, and the local space can’t better understand the whole space. According to the analysis results, the corresponding optimization strategies are put forward from the perspective of resilience theory, which provides a new idea for the protection and development of local tourism.
