Abstract:From the perspective of protective planning of traditional settlement landscape, this study takes Qingtong Village, Yingli Town, Leizhou City, Guangdong Province as an example, which is a typical traditional village in western Guangdong, and adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the questionnaire method and the ArcGIS superposition analysis method to carry out rural planning. By extracting the index factors of important landscape elements in rural areas, coupling public participation, building a matrix system to calculate score weight, and establishing a landscape security pattern model, the study systematically analyzes the areas that should be built, the areas that can be built and the areas that cannot be built in this village. Next, a rural suitability construction planning map is constructed by ArcGIS superposition, the historical landscape protection line is delimited, the villagers' activity site and green space are added, and the characteristic tourism line is constructed, etc. Finally, it is proposed that landscape architects should make reasonable and scientific planning from the perspective of rural landscape protective planning by understanding public needs.
