Abstract

To enhance the local adaptability and appropriateness of traditional village protection and development, this study investigates three distinct types of traditional villages in the Longzhong loess hilly and gully area utilizing grounded theory and in-depth field surveys. The empirical findings indicate that five practical pathways—encompassing culture, industry, population, landscape, and institutional mechanisms—effectively address local development demands. Specifically, population and industry serve as the core drivers for dynamic village development, culture and landscape constitute the foundational base, and governance mechanisms ensure successful implementation. Furthermore, these five integrated pathways comprehensively correspond to local loess cultural characteristics, regional economic advancement, villagers as core agents, settlements alongside ecological environments, and institutional governance, thereby offering robust practical guidance for sustainable regional village revitalization. Ultimately, these empirical insights contribute significantly to the theoretical construction of localized rural geography while providing actionable references for broader rural transformation and regional sustainability.

Key words
