- Abstract:
- Based on the analysis on the origin and connotation of the concept of historical and cultural towns and villages, those towns and villages in Northwest China were briefly reviewed and its research development in the region was summarized. The existing studies mainly focus on the settlement formation and change, resources protection and utilization and traditional dwellings, primarily forming three research modules in culture, society, architecture. While the interaction between settlement developmentand social evolution, quantitative evaluation and conservation planning of historic cultural towns and villages and the integration between the diversity and cross interdisciplinary of research methods remain to be further deepened.
