Abstract:: [Objective] To systematically reveal the spatiotemporal evolution patterns of traditional villages in Guangdong Province, and to thoroughly explore their driving factors, thereby providing scientific support for promoting centralized and contiguous protection and utilization efforts. [Methods] Taking 292 Chinese traditional villages in Guangdong Province as the research objects, GIS spatial analysis methods such as the nearest neighbor index, kernel density analysis, geographic concentration index, imbalance index, and standard deviation ellipse were used to examine the distribution type, distribution pattern, balance, distribution range, distribution center of gravity, and movement trajectory of traditional villages. In addition, geodetector was employed to explore their influencing factors. [Results] (1) Traditional villages in Guangdong Province exhibited a spatial clustering pattern, with significant local clustering. The overall pattern was characterized by “disperse overall distribution with local clustering”, showing a “large-medium-small” core structure： sparse in the southwest with no core, dense in the northeast with a concentric structure, and a belt-shaped distribution along ancient post roads and river basins. (2) Most traditional villages in Guangdong Province were formed during the Ming Dynasty. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, their distribution range shrank while directionality intensified. The center of gravity, location, topography, and direction shifted along a “northwest-southeast”, “inland-coastal-inland”, “plain-mountain”, and “southwest-northeast” trajectory, respectively. (3) The formation and evolution of traditional villages in Guangdong Province were significantly influenced by topography, water system, population size, GDP, urbanization rate, transportation accessibility, foreign trade, historical events, and the development of cultural subgroups. [Conclusion] The spatial patterns and evolutionary characteristics of traditional villages in Guangdong Province result from the interactive coupling of natural, social, and cultural factors. Natural factors establish foundational contexts, social factors drive development, and cultural factors serve as the fundamental drivers.
