[Objective] The aims of this study are to examine the spatial pattern evolution and its influencing factors of rural settlements in hilly and mountainous areas of eastern Fujian, and to provide scientific basis for the optimization and reconstruction of spatial layout of rural settlements. [Methods] Pingnan County in eastern Fujian was taken as an example. Kernel density analysis, landscape pattern index and GIS spatial analysis method were used to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of rural settlements in Pingnan County from 2009 to 2019, and geographical detectors were used to reveal the influencing factors of evolution. [Results](1)In the past 10 years, the number and scale of rural settlements in Pingnan County only increased slightly. Among different levels of settlements, the area of large settlements accounted for the largest proportion, but the number increase and scale expansion were mainly small settlements.(2)The overall morphological evolution of rural settlements tended to be complex and fragmented from rules, but there was a trend of settlement contiguous in the surrounding areas of the county. The single form of rural settlements was dominated by dots, accounting for 67.84%.(3)The spatial distribution of rural settlements weakly concentrated, the whole concentrated in the middle, and the distribution pattern was sparse around, but the distribution of settlements in the central and southern parts of the county was becoming more and more concentrated in the past 10 years. Controlled by terrain, rural settlements mostly distributed in intermountain basins and have low slope directivity.(4)Topographic relief was the main natural factor controlling the evolution of the spatial pattern and scale of rural settlements in Pingnan County, but the economic development of the county and the improvement of transport accessibility in the past 10 years had become important factors driving the expansion of the scale of rural settlements in Pingnan County in the new period. [Conclusion] The natural factors in Pingnan have shaped the basic spatial pattern of rural settlements, and the location and socio-economic factors are the driving force for the continuous expansion of the scale of rural settlements, and the interaction of natural, location and economic factors promotes the further evolution of rural settlements.
