Spatial Formation And Evolution Of Traditional Settlements In Dolon-nuur Under The Influence Of Social Change

The traditional settlements in Inner Mongolia region are the material carriers of the history and culture of Inner Mongolia region.Since the pre-mid Qing Dynasty,the traditional settlement of Dolon-nuur has been influenced by multiple factors such as religion,commerce and migration,which not only witnessed the important political initiatives of the Qing Dynasty government to maintain the rule of Mongolian region and stabilize the national unity,but also witnessed the unique settlement type formed by the religious origin of the settlements in Inner Mongolia,which is one of the typical representative cases of traditional settlements in Inner Mongolia.At present,most of the studies on Dolon-nuur are from sociological and historical perspectives,but there is a lack of studies on the spatial form and architecture of the settlement,especially on the correlation between social changes and the spatial evolution of the settlement.Therefore,this paper attempts to reveal the process of social change and spatial formation and evolution of traditional settlements in Dolon-nuur from the perspective of "social-spatial",and to analyze the dynamic mechanism of the evolution of traditional settlements.This paper takes the town of Dolon-nuurr in Xilin Gol league as the research object,selects the early Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the founding of the country as the research time range,introduces the basic method of socio-spatial theory,and clarifies the influence of socio-spatial theory on the study of the formation and evolution of traditional settlements in Dolon-nuur.On the basis of historical materials and literature research,the historical background of the formation and development of traditional settlements in Dolon-nuur is clarified,and the time period of Dolon-nuur formation and change is divided into four stages based on historical materials and field research,based on which the constituent elements of the four stages of settlements are analyzed and the patterns and characteristics of settlements in different stages are summarized.The study shows that the formation and evolution of the traditional settlement of Dolon-nuur is dominated by the rise and fall of religion and commerce,and the settlement pattern is shifted from a multi-group pattern dominated by religious power to a multi-group cluster with weakened religious power and the development of commercial power to a double core of one river and two pieces with dominated commercial power and declining religious power.-Multi-group pattern of religious and commercial power decline.The state policy is the baton for the formation,development and evolution of traditional settlements in Dolon-nuur,and the process of formation and evolution of traditional settlements is essentially the result of the change of state policy.From the Qing Dynasty to the founding of the People’s Republic of China,the Inner Mongolian region underwent historical changes under the religious,migration and commercial policies of the Qing government,resulting in the evolution of traditional settlements in Inner Mongolia from non-existence to existence and from simplicity to complexity.The traditional settlement of Dolon-nuur is a typical case of traditional settlement in Inner Mongolia.Through an in-depth study of it,we can reflect the great social changes of Qing Dynasty and the formation and transformation process of traditional settlement in Inner Mongolia,so as to lay the foundation for the study of the formation and transformation of traditional settlement in Inner Mongolia led by Tibetan Buddhist temples and further promote the study of the history and theory of architecture in Inner Mongolia.
