By revealing the spatial distribution characteristics and driving mechanisms of 1,027 traditional Chinese villages in the Loess Plateau, as announced in six batches up to 2023, this article provides a theoretical basis for formulating scientific and differentiated protection and development strategies. Utilizing the ArcGIS 10.8 platform and the GeoDetector model, this study comprehensively applies methods including the nearest neighbor index, standard deviation ellipse, kernel density estimation, and spatial autocorrelation to systematically analyze the spatial pattern of traditional villages, and quantitatively reveals their key driving factors and interactions through the GeoDetector.
