Environmental Integration Strategies for the Spatial Fragmentation of Ethnic Settlements in Guangxi

Abstract

The urban renewal under the boom triggered a “fragmented” effect of urban spatial pattern, and the broken states gradually spread from the town to the suburbs and even more remote minority villages. Also, many settlement spaces in Guangxi have appeared in the state of “integral discrete” and “unbalanced fragmentation”, resulting in agrestic settlement activity, structural decadent of the whole environment, and an increasing number of left-behind villages. In order to activate the cohesion of ethnic settlement space and achieve environmental sustainability development, the environmental strategies integration of the spatial fragmentation of ethnic settlement space in Guangxi are proposed as policy references.
