ABSTRACT

Fractal theory is a nonlinear research method that uses fractal geometry to study complex phenomena. This study applies fractal theory to analyze the individual housing units, spatial environment, and other influencing factors in T Village, a region located in the central plains of China. The analysis highlights the importance of considering local integration, the construction of a harmonious relationship between humans and the natural environment, and the impact of political, economic, and urban development factors on housing design. The aim of this study is to provide a broader path for the design of rural housing in the central plains region.
