The Influence of Environment on the Distribution Characteristics of Historical Buildings in the Songshan Region

Historical buildings in the Songshan region, a core area of Huaxia culture and part of UNESCO's Historic Monuments of Dengfeng, exhibit uneven distribution with two high-density clusters in Luoyang and Dengfeng cities. Their spatial arrangement follows a northwest-to-southeast axis centered near Mount Song, influenced by natural factors like topography, landforms, water systems, and the cultural concept of 'the Center of Heaven and Earth.' Using ArcGIS 10.6 spatial analysis and mathematical statistics, researchers analyzed these patterns to identify key environmental and social drivers shaping the region's historical landscape. These insights aim to inform sustainable conservation strategies for preserving this culturally significant area.
