Abstract

From the color geography perspective, a field investigation was conducted in the Minjiang River Basin, constructing a color index system of traditional villages. In Python, a random forest model was constructed to screen out important color indexes for traditional village color classification and explore its influence mechanism. Among eight color indexes, the important indexes are wall form and building face form, accounting for 30.50% and 19.40%, respectively. Based on this, the basin was divided into four color zones presenting color characteristics and eight color subzones presenting architectural features. The influence mechanism concerns dialect divisions that have shaped traditional villages of different color types, and the interconnection of water systems has promoted the connections among them. The application of traditional village colors in the new urban and rural planning can enhance local characteristics. Integrating the color resources of traditional villages contributes to the regional protection of culture and economic development.
