Research On Spatial Optimization Strategy Of Longmen Ancient Town Based On Spatial Cognition

Ancient towns are the product of long-term settlement by human beings in a specific natural environment,historical period and cultural background,and their space contains rich material relics and cultural inheritance.Spatial cognition is the overall perception and cognition formed after the interaction and influence between human and spatial elements.It is an important perspective to study spatial relations from the perspective of humanity.The study of ancient town spatial cognition is helpful to balance the protection and construction of cultural heritage.At present,the new opportunities and demands for the spatial development of ancient towns have put forward higher requirements for the spatial quality image and structural relationship of ancient towns,and the new trends and applications of spatial cognition research have provided cutting-edge technical basis and ideological cognition for the spatial research of ancient towns.In this paper,by sorting out the research status of ancient town space and spatial cognition,it is found that the fundamental foothold of previous spatial cognition research lies in the interaction between cognitive subjects and environmental objects,and there is a lack of effective integration methods between physical spatial structure and psychological cognitive structure.Based on this,this paper tries to build a bridge between people and space,and constructs a subjective and object integrated ancient town spatial cognitive framework from three aspects of cognitive goals,cognitive objects and cognitive methods of ancient town space,and makes an empirical study of Longmen Ancient Town based on this framework.After identifying the cognitive objects in the empirical study,the author integrates the spatial cognitive methods such as field investigation and observation,space syntax,cognitive map and network text analysis,and summarizes the overall spatial cognitive results of Longmen Ancient Town:(1)the insufficient interaction of ancient town resources affects the overall perception of subjects;(2)the imperfect spatial form of ancient town affects the understanding degree of the subject;(3)the homogeneity of the place shaping of ancient towns affects the subject’s sense of experience;(4)the imperfect operation and maintenance mechanism of ancient town affects subject satisfaction.Based on the above cognitive results,this paper puts forward the following points:(1)integrate and utilize the space resources of ancient town;(2)to continue and improve the spatial form of ancient towns;(3)create and reshape the place image of the ancient town;(4)create four spatial optimization strategies such as multi-collaborative safeguard mechanism.This study provides a basis for further understanding the spatial characteristics of Longmen Ancient Town and optimizing its spatial planning and construction.It provides a new research perspective and technical route for the preservation,renewal and sustainable development of historic towns in other areas.
