Research on Vernacular Landscape of Basin Valleys in Middle and Upper Reaches of Puyang River

Basin valleys, which are formed by the impact of the river system, often have a relatively closed regional environment. The interaction between man and environment turns it into a unique vernacular landscape. Taking the vernacular landscape of the middle and upper reaches of basin valley of Puyang River in Zhejiang Province as a case study, this paper divides the target area into two landscape types according to the interactions between man and nature: the lake area and the plain area. From the perspective of landscape architecture, it expounds the constituent elements and spatial pattern characteristics of the two types from natural basement, farmland-water conservancy system and settlement system and, through the typical settlement samples, further reveals the relationship between each system layer and the coupling relationship mechanism between the vernacular landscape pattern and process.
