At present,research on ethnic minority characteristic villages mainly focuses on industrial economy,landscape construction,and cultural inheritance,with relatively little research on public spaces in ethnic minority characteristic villages.This article takes the public spaces of eight characteristic villages in Chengyang Bazhai as the research object.From the perspective of spatial vitality,through literature research,field research,vitality evaluation and other research methods,following the basic logic of raising,analyzing,and solving problems,it conducts research and discussion on the current situation,vitality characteristics,and optimization and transformation strategies of the public spaces in Chengyang Bazhai.Firstly,based on literature research and field research on public spaces in ethnic minority characteristic villages both domestically and internationally,with spatial functions as the starting point,the public spaces that are currently closely related to residents and tourists in Chengyang Bazhai are divided into three types of public spaces: etiquette bearing space,transportation passage space,and ecological leisure space.Secondly,through questionnaire interviews and other forms of research,it was found that Chengyang Bazhai’s public space has three problems: the decline of spatial environment,the loss of spatial activity content,and insufficient spatial quality.In order to construct an evaluation system for the vitality of public spaces in Chengyang Bazhai,we conducted on-site visits and surveys to understand the demand and satisfaction information of local villagers towards public spaces.After analysis and summary,we obtained the indicator system for evaluating the vitality of public spaces in Chengyang Bazhai.Then,using expert scoring method and Yaahp10.3 software,a model was constructed to calculate the weights of each indicator and form a Chengyang Bazhai public space vitality evaluation system consisting of four first level indicators,nine second level indicators,and 20 third level indicators,including social participation,spatial function,environmental quality,and community culture.Then,the vitality evaluation system is applied to the vitality evaluation of public spaces in Chengyang Bazhai,evaluating the vitality of eight villages and three different types of public spaces in Chengyang Bazhai.Among them,the vitality rating of public spaces in Ma’anzhai,Pingzhai,and Yanzhai is "average",the vitality rating of Dongzhai,Dazhai,and Pingtan is "poor",and the vitality rating of Pingpu and Jichang villages is very poor.The vitality rating of etiquette carrying space is "average",while the vitality rating of transportation and ecological leisure space is "poor".From the evaluation results,it can be understood that the main problems of Chengyang Bazhai public space are poor accessibility,insufficient safety design,single types of public space activities,and insufficient spatial functional complexity.Finally,corresponding public space optimization strategies are proposed to address the issues identified in the evaluation results.I hope this article can contribute to the research results of public spaces in ethnic minority characteristic villages,and await the continuous development of related research. |
