Abstract: | The development and distribution pattern of rural settlements was greatly limited by their natural and social environment.
Taking Yulin prefecture in northern Shaanxi’s Loess Plateau area as an example, 1:250,000 map-scale national geographical
database as a major information source, a GIS-based research was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of the
rural settlements. In this paper, many significant characteristics of the rural settlement distribution are reviewed by means
of a series of GIS-based information processing methodology. The results obtained in this study should be helpful for the
urban and rural settlements reconstruction planning in this area. |
