This paper explores the evolutional patterns of farmhouse distribution, and examines the factors affecting farmhouses changes in Yilan County. This paper examined the pattern of farmhouse distribution using point pattern analysis, and examined the factors that influence on attractiveness for farmhouses using logistic regression analysis in Yilan County during 1995-2006. The results showed that in 1995, the spatial distribution of farmhouses exhibited significant accumulation. By 2006, clustering settlement dispersed and was replaced by an exurban pattern. The scattered distribution of farmhouses increased agricultural landscape fragmentation. The empirical results showed that accessibility, landscape factors, and neighborhood status were the drivers of farmhouse building. The conversion of farmland is irreversible, and thus such building should be concentrated in appropriate development areas to reduce conflicts between agricultural production and farmhouse building. Furthermore, the research results also provide useful suggestions for mechanisms for controlling farmland use. |
