Data underlying the manuscript: Investigating Rural Public Spaces with Cultural Significance using Morphological, Cognitive, and Behavioural Data

This is the research data for the manuscript "Investigating Rural Public Spaces with Cultural Significance using Morphological, Cognitive, and Behavioural Data".<br>The following is the original abstract:During the rural [re]vitalization process in China, national strategies required rural public spaces with cultural significance to be identified before planning decision-making. However, places perceived as significant by planners and visitors can differ from the ones mostly used and valued by locals. Even if there is a growing interest in integrating local perspectives and experiences in planning, studies seldom discuss and compare openly the adequacy of spatial configuration, cognition, and behaviour to support it. This study took Anyi Historic Village Cluster as a case study to empirically investigate rural public spaces with three distinct, yet related approaches: 1) Morphological: spatial network centralities based on space syntax; 2) Cognitive: Lynchian village images with semi-structured interviews; 3) Behavioural: spatiotemporal occupation patterns using Wi-Fi positioning tracking. Significant places respectively valued and used by locals and non-locals were detected with the multi-source data. Furthermore, multivariant regression models managed to characterize the relationship among different aspects of investigated rural public spaces, which also helped diagnose places of interest to prioritize in planning, demonstrating the advantage of integrating the sources of information in practice instead of studying them apart. Results can also assist rural planning on how to identify what to preserve, what to enhance, and how to benefit from development without overlooking the local needs or losing the rural identity.

以下为该论文的原文摘要：
在中国乡村振兴进程中，国家战略要求在规划决策阶段先行识别具有文化意义的乡村公共空间。然而，规划者与外来访客所认定的重要场所，往往与当地居民实际使用并珍视的空间存在差异。尽管当前规划领域愈发重视融入本土视角与在地体验，但现有研究鲜有公开探讨并对比空间配置、认知与行为维度在支撑此类规划时的适配性。
本研究以安义古村群为案例，采用三种相互关联且各具特色的方法开展乡村公共空间的实证探究：1）形态学维度：基于空间句法（space syntax）的空间网络中心性分析；2）认知学维度：基于半结构化访谈的凯文·林奇式村落意象调研；3）行为学维度：依托Wi-Fi定位追踪获取的时空使用模式数据。
通过多源数据，本研究识别出当地居民与外来群体各自珍视并使用的重点场所。此外，本研究通过多元回归模型刻画了乡村公共空间各维度间的关联关系，并借此诊断出规划中需优先关注的重点场所，证实了在实践中整合多源信息而非割裂研究的优势。
研究结果同时可为乡村规划提供参考，助力规划者明确需保护、需优化的空间，并探索在发展中兼顾本土需求、保留乡村特质的可行路径。
