Spatial Distribution of Natural Villages Surrounding Plateau Lakes: A Case Study of the Yilong Lake in Yunnan

The study of the spatial distribution of natural villages is what local studies, cultural studies, urban and rural planning, and tourism planning need. In the context of gradually extinct natural villages, research on the characteristics analysis and protection of natural villages is of great significance. With the aid of the Arc GIS spatial analysis technology, it was concluded that terrain, traffic, and social economy were important factors influencing the distribution of the natural villages in the study area, so as to provide a technical reference for relevant local administrative departments to construct a livable ecological environment.
