| The special hydrogeological structure of eastern piedmont of Taihang Mountains provides basic conditions for collection and emerging of surface water and groundwater. For which reason, there forms the largest karst springs of northern China in the area of Niangziguan, and then induces the cluster of rural human settlements arisen around the springs in history. Among these villages, Niangziguan village which located in eastern extremity of town of Niangziguan has become a typical case of spring villages in northern China because of the intact net of springs interweaved by open trenches and covered gutters, the spatial morphology making use of the spring trend and the diverse utilization of spring water preserved in the village. However, changes occurred since modern times which touches different aspects of natural ecological environment, social economic structure, mode of life and production and other oriented, have made the spatial environment of the village facing the thread of destruction and the predicament of how to make the development continue.The study started by the constitution of spatial environment of springs in the village, analyses the basic form elements including spatial distribution, veins, trend, relationship with circumjacent water and form of emersion. On base of which, then, the paper makes a classified analysis on spatial morphological feature of springs in the village. In aspect of spatial scale, different scales of spring spaces combines with different gradation of village space, constitute the whole spatial environment of the village together. In aspect of micro climate regulation of spatial environment of the village, different types of springs spaces showes significant differences on environmental comfort which due to the degree of water wettability, Weight of participation of space construction of spring resources and the free spaces. Aimed at the outstanding feature of diverse utilization of the village, then, the thesis makes a classified analysis on functions of the springs on aspects of living, production, disaster prevention and landscapes, then put forward to an analysis on spatial characterastics os corresponding type of spring space.Based on the system analysis on typological features of the spring spaces, the paper makes an association analysis on interaction between the village space and different gradations of leading factors of development of the village space. In aspect of wholeness of spatial morphology of the village, the system of the overflow water of the springs makes an impact on the alternative concepts of the location of the settlement of the villagers. In aspect of structural logic of spaces, the springs make an influence on the morphology of spatial cores, skeleton system and filling system of the village space through the interaction with the formation and evolvement of the economic structure of the village. In aspect of local space, the springs infuluence the spatial behaviors of the villagers by the sharing demands of the property of spring resources of people, an then act on the proceed of shaping of the local spaces.Proceed to the next step, the thesis makes a disassembly analysis on different gradations and types of spatial elements of the skeleton system and filling system of the village.On base of which, a reverse reduction of the proceed of self-organization of village space has been taken. The analysis results shows that the influence maked by the springs on consititution of sptial morphology is weakening gradually along with the transformation from high to low of the gradation of village spaces while the influence of artificial construction is strengthening. The results also points out that the interaction between springs and artificial construction has been the inner dynamics of growth of village space from the very beginning of the start of the settlement.Further more, the paper analyses the present situation of protection and renovation of the village space in both aspects of utilization of spring resourses and the protection taken as an important part of the historical town of Niangziguan. On base of which, the thesis induces the macroscopical challenges faced by the development of village space and concrete contradictory consist in the task of protection and renovation of village space.Aimed at the exact target of sustainable development of the space of Niangziguan Village, finally, the paper put forward the fundamental strategy of renovation of space function based on a system recognition and active protection on typical value characterastics of spatial environment. During the macroscopical cogitation on value protection and function renovation of the village space, the study unearths the value characterastics formed by the interaction of springs, the pass of Niangziguan and the acient trade route. Then, it analysis the inner dynamics of the historical proceed of village development which internalized in the interaction among the three value subjects above that the springs and pass have led the boom of the acient trade route and the development of commerce has, the other way round, promoted the development of the whole village, In addition, the thesis preliminarily discusses the construction of a frame system of value evaluation index of typical spring villages in northern China. What is more, the study raises a general idea of renovation which based on a critical inheritance of historical dynamic of growth of the village space that bring the relative service industry along with the protection of historic value characterastics of spring spaces and acient passes, so that the development and evolution of the village spatial environment can be sustained. Besides, a series of suitable strategies of protection and renovation on a microcosmic view has been deeply discussed at the end of the dissertation. |
