road network in the region. A comparative analysis of
the integration degree of the newly planned and original
street networks (Figure 16) showed that the formation
of the new road network significantly improves the road
integration value of the central area of the village core, thus
providing a more concentrated space for the flow of people
and objects in the entire street network in the village. After

serves as an important road axis that can drive economic
