The organic renewal of traditional villages from the perspective of logical space restoration and physical space adaptation: A case study of Laoche village, China

With the rapid advancement of urban-rural integration and rural revitalization, China's traditional villages are gradually entering a stage of comprehensive transformation from tradition to modernity, and the continuous expansion of residents' spatial, cultural, and function needs has led to an increasingly serious phenomenon of non-compliant renewal. However, there is a clear lack of guidance and support for the renewal of traditional villages. This article constructs an organic renewal framework of "logical space restoration and physical space adaptation" for traditional villages. With the Laoche village as an example, the Landscape Gene Analysis method and Photovoice method were used to precisely identify the challenges faced by Laoche village and propose precise implementation strategies for organic renewal. From the conceptual construction to the exploration of paths, it helps to solve the deep-rooted contradictions between the renewal and protection of traditional villages.
