Regeneration And Protection Of Independently Constructed Cave-dwelling

This thesis is self-selected according to the tutor's suggestion, which is also supported by the Supporting Program of the"Eleventh Five-year Plan"for Sci & Tech Research of China (20066DAJ04A02).Currently about settlements, there are more researches based on macro-culture and less on updating the rebuilding technology; more based on high-tech theory and less on the autonomous updating of villagers; more based on the research and development of tourism and less on the dwelling houses of the villagers; more based on one-off regeneration and improvement of the village construction by protecting the regional culture and less on exploring of evolution and participation.This thesis tries to stand on the point of view of culture and technology, takes the cave-dwelling settlements independently constructed in Shan county in western Henan province as the object of research and aims at researching on the regeneration and transformation in a way of evolution and participation. Through data summarizing, field surveying and investigating, depth interviewing, comparative analyzing and other specific methods, we make a detailed analysis and summary on the space characteristics and building strategy of the existing cave-dwelling settlements during their building, and sum up the rational logic and potential motive force of this traditional spatial construction mode.In this thesis, we do some comparatively systematical study and analysis and try to seek a more effective solution to the regeneration and protection of cave-dwelling settlements, which will be tested through specific practice and can change the general top-down updating mode fundamentally into bottom-up evolution model and makes the regeneration of settlements in a way of gradual development.
