| "Between the Yellow River and the Luo River,the three generations once resided".As the primary birthplace of Chinese civilization,the Heluo region holds a significant role in the lengthy history of the great Chinese.In Gongyi,Henan Province,the town of Heluo is a model town for ecotourism with unique qualities,Its rural settlements have a healthy ecological environment and a rich cultural heritage,but because of irrational development and construction,the regional cultural characteristics and the traditional landscape pattern have both been negatively impacted,making it urgent to investigate the protection of its rural settlement landscape.Based on the perspective of landscape gardening,this paper takes the rural settlement landscape of Heluo town as the research object,starts from the macro background of the natural environment and humanistic environment of the rural settlement landscape of Heluo town,By using the theory of landscape gene to establish the landscape gene classification and identification system in the region and in-depth exploring the regional characteristics and underlying causes of each component of the rural settlement landscape gene of Heluo town,The main findings are as follows:1.The object-oriented OOPLG landscape gene classification model was chosen,and the landscape genes of the rural settlement of Heluo Town were divided into four levels,including layout,dwelling,environment and culture,and refined into 12 landscape gene elements,such as site layout and geodetic pattern,according to the characteristics and differences of various attributes of the landscape,and a landscape gene classification system was constructed for the area.2.The results show that the layout genes include the site layout of "backed by mountains and water,surrounded by a jade belt,rising from the flat land and choosing a mountain",the earth landscape of "guarding the fields by the road,by the loess plateau and by the mountains" and The village forms are "scattered,neat,linear and coiled";the residential genes include four types of dwellings: "courtyard,kiln,kiln house and manor",as well as the decorative structure of doors and windows,building materials and colours,and other residential features that show the characteristics of the region.The environmental genes include the water system landscape of "the confluence of the river and Luo",the three types of landforms of "loess plateau,shallow hills and river plain",and the landscape features of farmland and plants with local environmental characteristics.The cultural genes include four types of regional culture,namely "Heluo culture,Xiangyu spirit,clan culture and cultivation culture" and four types of folk culture,namely "Henan opera,water society,Heluo drums and dry boats".3.In view of the current situation of the landscape genes of rural settlements in Heluo town,the landscape genes value evaluation index system is constructed,the index weights are confirmed using the hierarchical analysis method,and the weighted evaluation results are calculated by combining the fuzzy evaluation method,resulting in a comprehensive evaluation value of 3.5121 for its landscape genes and a good comprehensive evaluation grade,and a comprehensive analysis of the evaluation results of the overall,guideline and index layers is made to propose highlighting the relationship between mountains and water and consolidating the The evaluation results of the overall,criterion and indicator levels were analysed,and optimization strategies such as highlighting the relationship between mountains and water,consolidating the pattern of "mountains,fields,villages and water",and controlling the shape of groups were proposed.4.Take the case of Shenbei Village in Heluo Town as a case study for landscape gene application practice,analysed the landscape gene and current problems of the site,and take landscape gene inheritance as the guide,from "spatial structure optimization","residential style control","ecological environment restoration","ecological environment restoration" and "ecological environment restoration".The study is oriented towards the inheritance of landscape genes,and optimises the layout,residential,environmental and cultural genes in four aspects: "spatial structure optimisation","residential style control","ecological environment restoration" and "cultural elements implantation",to create a rural settlement landscape with regional characteristics.This study identifies and organises the landscape genes of the rural settlement landscape in Heluo Town,compiles an information chain map of the landscape genes in the area using the N-level coding theory,and constructs a landscape gene value evaluation model to evaluate its current value.Finally,using the village of Shenbei as an empirical case,the optimisation strategy is applied to concrete practice,providing the basis and direction for the future protection and development of the rural settlement landscape in the region. |
