为提高传统村落保护发展的在地性和适宜性，基于扎根理论方法，以陇中黄土丘陵沟壑区3个不同类型传统村落为例，对当前地区村落保护发展和活化利用的在地性展开研究，旨在对黄土丘陵沟壑区村落的活化方向进行指引。研究得出：①文化、产业、人口、景观、机制5条实践路径中，人口、产业是促进传统村落活态化发展的核心，文化、景观是关键，机制是保障。②通过构建“文化—产业—人口—景观—机制”5条在地活化路径，在地文化响应了黄土文化特色；在地产业响应了经济产业；在地人口响应了村民主体；在地景观响应了聚落与生态环境；在地机制响应了治理机制。③以“文产人景机”为主的5条活化方式，旨在提高当地村落保护的在地性和发展的适宜性。

"Local revitalization" refers to emphasizing the importance of "local" based on the regional characteristics of traditional villages, highlighting regional differences, and integrating the local reality to achieve protection and development tailored to the specific context of the village. To enhance the local relevance and suitability of traditional village protection and development, local revitalization is an important approach for promoting the dynamic development of traditional villages, as well as a significant initiative in response to the rural revitalization call. Based on grounded theory and in-depth field surveys, this study uses three different types of traditional villages in the Loess Plateau hilly region of central Gansu as examples to explore the local relevance and adaptability in the protection, development, and revitalization practices of traditional villages, aiming to provide guidance on the revitalization direction for villages in the region. The research findings indicate that: 1) The five practical paths—culture, industry, population, landscape, and mechanisms—align with the actual development needs of traditional villages in the Loess Plateau hilly region and reflect the basic demands of the local population. Among them, population and industry are the core factors for promoting the dynamic development of traditional villages in the Loess Plateau hilly region, while culture and landscape are key to revitalization, and mechanisms ensure the success of the revitalization process. 2) By constructing five local revitalization paths—"culture-industry-population-landscape-mechanisms"—the goal is to promote the dynamic development of traditional villages in the Loess Plateau hilly region. These include: local culture responding to the revitalization of Loess cultural characteristics; local industry responding to the revitalization of village economic development; local population responding to the revitalization of villagers as the main agents; local landscape responding to the revitalization of settlements and ecological environments; and local mechanisms responding to the revitalization of governance mechanisms. (3) Through empirical analysis of different types of villages, five local revitalization paths centered on "culture-industry-population-landscape-mechanism" were formed. These five paths not only align with the real-world context of protecting and developing three different types of traditional villages but also represent the future development direction of traditional villages in the region. The aim is to enhance the local relevance and suitability of traditional village protection and development in the Loess Plateau hilly region, jointly promoting the dynamic development of traditional villages.
