高原山地自然条件复杂、生态环境脆弱、山多地少，保护与建设开发极具艰巨性。民族传统人居环境带有明显适应自然环境和人文特征的烙印，具备独一无二的特质，但也面临特殊自然环境下保护与开发建设的显著矛盾。本项目将基于自然因子及影响力，分析景观格局及垂直梯度分异特征，研究高原山地民族传统人居环境空间格局特征；基于自然因子、人文因子及影响力，分析主要民族人文特征，民族人文特征影响下的生态、生产、生活耦合关系，研究高原山地民族传统人居环境文化景观特点；运用适应性评价体系及各种分析方法，建立基于适应性的高原山地民族人居环境保护、可持续更新发展及地域性特色塑造的关键技术、建设策略、理论体系，并运用于实践建设。为高原山地民族传统人居环境的适应自然、特色保护、脱贫致富、改善提升、科学发展、特色重塑等提供理论支撑及实践校验。

Plateau mountain area, with complex natural conditions, fragile ecological environment and less flat ground, protection, construction and exploitation there are extremely difficult. Ethnic traditional residential environment has unique characteristics of being adaptive to natural environment and cultural features. This project is based on natural factors and its influence, analyzing landscape pattern and differential characteristics of vertical gradient, to research spatial pattern characteristics of ethnic traditional residential environment in plateau mountain area. Besides, it is also at the basis of natural factors, human factors and their influence, analyzing major ethnic and cultural characteristics, and the coupling relationship among ecology, production and living under the influence of this characteristics, to summarize cultural landscape features of ethnic traditional residential environment in plateau mountain area. In addition, in this project, adaptive evaluation system and qualitative analytical method will be applied, to establish a theory system for the protection of ethnic traditional residential environment in plateau mountain area, sustainable development and feature molding, and put them into practice. From this project, efforts will be made to provide theoretical support and practice verification for improving ethnic traditional residential environment in plateau mountain area, perpetuating feature and scientific development.
