PLANNING STRUCTURE OF TRADITIONAL SETTLEMENTS IN MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS IN GUIZHOU PROVINCE OF CHINA
Journal Title: Architecture and Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper considers types of planning structures of mountain settlements in South China. A typology of mountain landscape fragments has been developed; dependence of planning and settlement types on landscape types has been identified. The main types of settlement planning structures have been defined as follows: shrub, ribbon-like, linear, branching, and grouped. Public areas of settlements have been characterized.
