A GIS-Based Analysis on the Characteristics of Ancient Architectures in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ancient architectures have always been of great interest to a variety of studies. In this analysis, the distribution of ancient architectures in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is investigated. In each area of the distribution, the characteristic of the ancient architectures are recorded, such as story number, building materials, construction time, etc. The various types of information are then input into a GIS (Geographic Information System) database, which also contains some typical images of the ancient architectures. Some of the data are from GoogleEarth or archived CAD (Computer Aided Design) files. Consequently, the distribution and characteristic of ancient architectures are analyzed consulting the GIS map and attribute table. Although the ancient architectures are similar in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, there exist some notable differences. The commonness and differences would be significative for the preservation and planning for ancient architectures.
