TRADITIONAL DWELLINGS AND VACANT HOUSES IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE VILLAGES :

In this research, we focus on traditional dwellings in traditional Chinese villages. Using Taoyuan Village in Qimen County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province as a case study, we conducted field surveys and interviews to understand the current situation of dwellings in the village. By comparing the characteristics of inhabited traditional dwellings and vacant dwellings, we identified the current housing problems faced by traditional dwellings. Additionally, through case investigations of the transformation and reuse of traditional dwellings in the village, we explore whether such efforts have practical effects on the sustainable development ofthe village.
