Abstract:Island-type traditional villages face cultural rupture and landscape fragmentation amid rapid urbanization and tourism. Using Guanyinjiao Village (Dongtou District, Wenzhou, Zhejiang) as a case, this study, grounded in the 'landscape gene information chain' theory, combines literature review and fieldwork, collects 50 semi-structured interviews, and employs NVivo for coding, word-frequency, and co-occurrence analyses. This paper constructs an indicator system 'occurrence frequency, spatial coverage, cultural importance score, and share of primary functional cognition' to identify the characteristics of information elements, information points, and information corridors. Results show that fishing-based production and lifeways' constitute the core information element; traditional stone houses and religious buildings are key carriers of cultural identity, though some exhibit functional alienation; intangible-heritage nodes such as shell carving are declining due to broken transmission chains; and corridor systems prioritize transport over cultural narration. Based on these findings, this study proposes a pathway of 'information element restoration—information node activation—information corridor optimisation,' balancing authenticity preservation with revitalisation.
