In response to the dilemma of the disappearance of spatial features and cultural rupture in traditional villages in Aomu River, recognition and extraction research is carried out based on spatial gene theory. On the basis of the construction of spatial gene recognition technology system, combined with qualitative and quantitative research methods, starting from macro, meso, and micro scales, the overall pattern spatial genes of mountains, rivers, villages, fields, and cultural landscapes are combined and condensed. The spatial genes of the village itself, which are shaped like Tai Chi, relaxed and diverse, and have multiple combinations. The spatial genes of courtyard buildings with axial symmetry, centripetal enclosure, and north-south compatibility. Finally, with the goal of protecting and inheriting spatial genes, it is proposed to maintain the natural background and reshape the landscape pattern. Protecting the texture of the village and revitalizing spatial nodes. A planning strategy to enhance the value of courtyards and coordinate the local protection and development of architectural style.

Improving residents' life and enhancing the quality of economic development are the important goals and specific embodiments of high-quality development. We formulate a theoretical framework to facilitate the high-quality development of residents' life and economy, empirically analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of facilitating coupling coordination among 78 cities from 2011 to 2020 by using the coupling coordination model, Kernel Density estimation, ESDM method, and the obstacle degree model, and explore their influencing factors and driving mechanisms. The results show that: ① The coupling degree of cities in the Yellow River Basin is at a high level, and the interactions between the systems are closely linked. ② The coordination degree of the Yellow River Basin as a whole has steadily risen from a mildly dislocated state in 2011 to a state on the brink of dislocation, and the degree of coupling and coordination of each city has fewer extremely high and extremely low values, and more intermediate values. The spatial polarization and agglomeration of the coordination degree is obvious, generally showing the pattern of "high in the east and low in the west", the provincial capital cities are also the agglomeration area of the high value of the coordination degree, while the coordination degree of the other prefectural-level cities is relatively low and balanced in distribution. The coupling and coordination of residents' life and economic high-quality development are affected by many factors, among which the openness dimension of economic high-quality development is the main obstacle, and urban public services and infrastructure construction also affect the coupling and coordinated development of the two to a considerable extent. Therefore, in the future high-quality development, it is necessary to focus on the openness of the economy, improve urban infrastructure and improve public services.

At present, China’s national land spatial planning system is in the development stage, and the development research of township level is still to be perfected, this paper, on the basis of analyzing and researching the new requirements put forward by the new era of national land spatial planning to the township level, explores the current situation characteristics of the production-living-ecological space at the township level, constructs the evaluation system of the effectiveness of the production-living-ecological space and adopts the evaluation methods of the comprehensive level of development evaluation, the evaluation of the degree of coordination of the coupling, the evaluation of the suitability of the function, and so on. Based on the evaluation results, the conflict measurement analysis of the production-living-ecological space at the township level is carried out, and on the basis of analyzing and deriving the problems of the development of the current production-living-ecological space, the optimization strategy of the national land space pattern at the township level is proposed. In this paper, Taiyao Township of Tongguan County, Shaanxi Province is used as a case study for empirical research, and the research results provide guidelines and references for the orderly development of the township space.

Ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin has become a major national strategy. Coupling resources, population and industries systems to coordinate high-quality development is an important way to achieve this strategic goal. The paper analyzes the connotation of high-quality development of "resource-population-industry", and builds an evaluation index system on this basis. The entropy weight method, coupling coordination model, spatial autocorrelation model, decision laboratory method and interpretive structural model method were used to explore the comprehensive level, quality development of resources, population and industry in 55 prefecture-level cities along the Yellow River Basin from 2015 to 2021. Coupling coordinates the spatiotemporal evolution process and its fundamental influencing factors. Research shows: ① The comprehensive development level of resources, population and industries systems in the Yellow River Basin has shown a steady upward trend; ② The degree of coupling and coordination among the three is generally low, but the overall development trend is benign, at the same time, the spatial characteristics of "high in the east and low in the west" are present; ③ The coupling coordination degree of "resource-population-industry" system in the Yellow River Basin shows a strong positive spatial correlation, "high-high" agglomeration areas are mainly concentrated in the downstream areas of the basin, and "low-low" agglomeration areas are mainly located in the upstream areas of the river basin; ④ Among the evaluation indicators, the proportion of education expenditures in fiscal expenditures, the intensity of environmental regulation, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries in GDP and the proportion of science and technology expenditures in fiscal expenditures are fundamental indicators that affect the high-quality development of "resource-population-industry" in the Yellow River Basin factor. Based on the coupling relationship of the high-quality development of the "resource-population-industry" system and the identified key influencing factors, corresponding strategic suggestions are put forward, in order to provide scientific theoretical support and decision-making basis for the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
