Linpan Community: a Framework of Protection and Development of Rural Landscape in Chengdu Plain

Linpan, a traditional rural settlement in Sichuan, China, offers a sustainable model for balancing conservation and development of rural landscapes. This study introduces the concept of 'Linpan Community,' which integrates ecological wisdom with modern community living to address challenges like environmental pollution and cultural loss. The framework emphasizes distinctive leading industries such as agriculture and tourism to support local economies while preserving landscape characteristics. By proposing a new rural landscape planning approach that merges traditional practices with contemporary living conditions, this research provides actionable insights for safeguarding and utilizing Linpan's unique heritage. The findings highlight the potential of community-based models in mitigating urbanization pressures on rural landscapes.
