Abstract

As important carriers of China's agricultural civilization and living cultural heritage, traditional villages are facing a multidimensional "deactivation" crisis under the impact of rapid urbanization and modernization. Scientifically measuring the vitality of traditional villages and exploring their classified enhancement paths are key to achieving comprehensive rural revitalization and the sustainable development of cultural heritage. This paper systematically reviews the conceptual connotation of traditional village vitality and the evolutionary logic of existing evaluation dimensions, pointing out that the traditional ternary evaluation model centered on "population, material, and intangible heritage" has limitations in responding to the digital era and modern governance needs. On this basis, this paper innovatively proposes the theoretical logic for reconstructing the vitality evaluation system of traditional villages, demonstrating the necessity of introducing "policy guidance" as an external guarantee dimension and "information technology" as an empowerment dimension. Combining the differentiated characteristics and common mechanisms of multidimensional deactivation in traditional villages across various regions in China (such as Xiangxi in Hunan, Beijing, and Longzhong in Gansu), this paper further introduces the concept of settlement "double repair", and proposes a multi-dimensional coordinated activation path based on classified policies. This aims to provide theoretical support and decision-making reference for traditional villages to transition from "static preservation" to "dynamic activation" in the new era.
