小城镇空间形态演变规律探究——以东平县为例
Exploring the Laws of Spatial Morphological Evolution in Small Towns—Taking Dongping County as an Example

小城镇空间用地的发展是一种动态的历史过程，为保证持续发展，规划必须建立在传统空间形态客观存在的现实基础之上。因此本文关注2008至2023年间东平县的用地演变，借助ArcGIS提取东平县共12个乡镇的空间特征和形态变化，通过叠置分析、缓冲区分析、重心分析工具辅助分析其空间演变成因，意在探索其空间形态类型、空间形态类型组合模式的客观规律和内在逻辑，以达到科学理性地引导现代小城镇空间形态实践的目标。
The development of spatial land use in small towns is a dynamic historical process. To ensure sustained growth, planning must be grounded in the objective reality of prevailing traditional spatial forms. Consequently, this study focuses on the land-use evolution in Dongping County between 2008 and 2023. Leveraging ArcGIS, it extracts spatial characteristics and morphological changes in the county’s 12 towns. Employing techniques such as overlay analysis, buffer zone analysis, and gravity center analysis, it endeavors to elucidate the underlying causes of these spatial transformations, with the aim of uncovering the objective patterns and intrinsic logic of spatial form types and their combinations. Ultimately, the objective is to provide scientifically rational guidance for contemporary small-town spatial morphology practices.
