ABSTRACT

The western plateau of Sichuan Province is dotted with many Tibetan Buddhist monastic settlements, present extremely unique spatial characteristics of settlement and are an important part and unique type of human settlement system. Taking the Lharong Wuming Buddhist Institute in Seda County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province as an object, we reveal the organizational evolution mechanism of monastic settlement space from the perspective of microscopic subjects, and accordingly establish the Tibetan Buddhist monastic settlement cellularular automata (TBTS-CA) model to simulate and predict the development trend of monastic settlement space form.
