ABSTRACT: The protection of traditional settlements mainly focuses on the spatial
morphology. For the previous research methodology, it tends to make analysis
through qualitative methods rather than quantitative methods. Taking Xiuxi
Village, Li County, Sichuan Province as an example, this paper studies the spatial
morphology and actual space of the traditional settlement of the Qiang people,
refines and analyzes its spatial elements, obtains the overall spatial structure
characteristics of the traditional Qiang settlement, so as to verify the feasibility
of spatial syntax in the protection and renewal of the spatial morphology in
the traditional Qiang settlement, and propose a specific case for the spatial
morphological research of traditional Qiang settlement by the using of a quantitative
analysis method.
