Article: Spatial revitalisation design of traditional villages in Northwest Henan Province and the influencing factors of regional cultural value Journal: International Journal of Information and Communication Technology (IJICT) 2026 Vol.27 No.1 pp.39 - 59 Abstract: With the ongoing rural revitalisation strategy, the spatial activation of traditional villages and reconstruction of regional cultural values, as carriers integrating aesthetics and public participation, are reshaping the rural cultural landscape. From a regional cultural perspective, this study identifies key factors affecting cultural value in northwest Henan's traditional villages through field research and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. On this basis, a spatial activation design method is constructed from three levels: point, line, and surface. Results show a strong positive correlation between spatial integrity and cultural continuity. For intangible cultural value, Yangping Village scored only 5.1-6.9, but after optimisation, spatial integration rose to 0.61 and node density to 9.7/km<SUP align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUP>. Regarding cultural identity satisfaction, tourists and residents scored 9.51 and 9.12 for natural material cultural strategies. The method thus enhances both spatial value perception and cultural identity, offering a replicable approach for regional village regeneration.

Abstract: With the ongoing rural revitalisation strategy, the spatial activation of traditional villages and reconstruction of regional cultural values, as carriers integrating aesthetics and public participation, are reshaping the rural cultural landscape. From a regional cultural perspective, this study identifies key factors affecting cultural value in northwest Henan's traditional villages through field research and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. On this basis, a spatial activation design method is constructed from three levels: point, line, and surface. Results show a strong positive correlation between spatial integrity and cultural continuity. For intangible cultural value, Yangping Village scored only 5.1-6.9, but after optimisation, spatial integration rose to 0.61 and node density to 9.7/km². Regarding cultural identity satisfaction, tourists and residents scored 9.51 and 9.12 for natural material cultural strategies. The method thus enhances both spatial value perception and cultural identity, offering a replicable approach for regional village regeneration.

Keywords: traditional villages; space activation design; regional culture; fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method; factors influencing of value.
