- Abstract:
-
The spatial and temporal characteristics of settlement pattern in Xilinguol pastoral area was explored to provide basis for optimizing settlement layout. With the aid of the remote sensing image, GIS technology, metrological method and GeoDetector model, the main factors controlling the evolution of settlement pattern were discussed based on quantitative analysis of the evolution characteristics of settlement pattern in Xilingol pastoral area and its influencing factors. The results showed that:(1)during 1980 to 2018, the number and scale of settlements in pastoral areas increased, the hierarchical structure was small but the developing trend towards large and medium-sized scale; the spatial distribution of settlement scale was high value agglomeration but cold and hot spot difference was remarkable and the core region grew but the periphery region contracted;(2)the settlements distributed in clusters, but they belonged to large dispersion and small concentration and it had the distribution pattern of densely in the south and sparse in the north and agglomeration in the east and dispersion in the west; location evolution of settlement had the trend of lowland, gentle slope, sunny, rainy, light wind, hydrophilic, grass, shortcut, disaster avoidance and town center;(3)the settlements had experienced the evolution process of increasing and decreasing simultaneously, but most of them were new-born and extended settlements;(4)location condition, road traffic, population size, urbanization, investment intensity and economic level were the dominant factors of settlement pattern evolution, and the driving action of the socio-economic factors were increasing while the influence of natural factors are weakening over time. The size, distribution and evolution pattern of the settlement in Xilinguol pastoral area are significantly different in time and space,the natural factors shaped the basic pattern of settlement but the social and economic factors are the fundamental driving force of settlement evolution. It is of great significance to the improve the human settlement environment by the spatial reconstruction promotion of settlements in different ways in pastoral areas.
