Abstract: | Scientific understanding of rural territorial structure is the basis for promoting agricultural and rural modernization comprehensively and rural revitalization. Based on the data of the second land survey in Fuyu City,this paper uses ArcGIS spatial analysis software, explore the spatial distribution characteristics of rural settlements in Fuyu City from the aspects of settlements scale, distribution pattern and land use conditions through scale analysis, kernel density analysis and buffer analysis. The results show that: Fuyu City is dominated by micro- and small-settlements, the number of settlements gradually decreases with the increase of settlements areas, and the distance between settlements varies greatly, characterized by scattered large settlements and concentrated small settlements, and unevenly dispersed distribution. The average nuclear density of rural settlements is 0.4 / km2, and the spatial layout is high-density agglomeration in the southeast, gradually decreasing to the west, and scattered in the west. The distribution of settlements shows strong directivity to towns, traffic land has a agglomeration effect on settlements, and rivers have the function of agglomeration to micro-settlements and large-settlements. |
