Abstract:Reasonable landscape layout is an integral part of implementing the rural revitalization strategy, and the rural landscape pattern has gradually received widespread attention with the steady progress of the rural revitalization strategy. In this context, studying domestic rural landscape patterns is significant in maintaining the rural ecological environment and protecting rural regional culture. Using CiteSpace software, Chinese literature on rural landscape patterns from China Knowledge Network (CNKI) from 2004 to 2024 was used as the core database to visualize and analyze the authors, institutions, research hotspots, and trends in this field and to summarize its research progress. The results show that the research with the theme of rural landscape patterns can be divided into three stages: steady rise, tortuous development, and slow decline; relevant research scholars in this field have formed a small number of research teams, but the connection is not close; the institutions that study rural landscape pattern are mainly colleges and universities, and the types of research institutions are relatively homogenized; the research hotspots are primarily focused on the landscape pattern, rural landscape, rural settlements and rural revitalization; the trend of research gradually focuses on ecological environmental protection and sustainable development, cultural heritage and rural tourism, and modernization and application of science and technology and other cutting-edge directions. Rural landscape patterns have received attention from various disciplines. Still, in the future, we should strengthen the communication and cooperation among research institutions and scholars as well as the integration between disciplines and promote the research of rural landscape patterns with innovative methods to provide a more scientific guiding basis for the development of the countryside.
