Abstract
This paper principally focuses on the spatial layout features of Linpan in Deyuan Town of Chengdu City in China. The spatial shape analysis and spatial fractal analysis in studied areas was carried out by using analysis methods of Fractal Analysis, Zonal Geometry as Table, Field Calculator. The results demonstrated that densely shaped Linpan (resembling square or circle type) with starlike scattered distribution, and loosely shaped Linpan (slender type) distributed along roads or water strips, both of which are concentrated along water systems or roads and stay away from major exterior roads. It is found that Linpan in the studied area is in the state of random motion similar to the Brownian motion. The spatial pattern of the residential patch is complex and in the most unstable state. Quantitative research on the spatial layout features of Linpan is conducive to strengthening the scientific and rational understanding of Linpan. The research findings could be used as the scientific foundation for guiding the selection of rural centers, surrounding village construction, township land planning and remediation.
