The rural construction community embodies a confluence of social dynamics within rural areas, constituting an organic self-organization with hierarchical relationships. Over a specific period, the amalgamation of various roles and relationships within the rural construction community shapes the prevalent culture, distinctive image, and production techniques within villages. This study examines the structural composition of village communities and endeavors to establish a linkage mechanism among different elements within the construction framework. Focusing on villages and their inhabitants, this research traces the temporal evolution along the following axes: (1) Traditional Agricultural Civilization Age; (2) Collective Economy Age; (3) Rural Industrialization Age; (4) Rural Differentiation Age; and (5) Rural Revitalization Age. This paper primarily observes the evolution through the cultural foundation and manifestation of rural communities, emphasizing that the communities represent cooperative, autonomous, and transformative constructs. From the perspective of cultural landscapes, this article elucidates the interconnected trajectory of ecology–institution–livelihood in the creation of rural communities. It interprets the interplay among the resource patterns, social structure, and economic forms of villages across five distinct periods, fostering a comprehensive understanding of rural community development amidst changing circumstances. Recent years have seen a concerning decline in rural areas, where rural community culture faces a significant impact from modern industrial civilization, resulting in the disintegration of the social fabric within community construction. Nevertheless, the resilient common sense and self-organization capabilities of villagers persist. This study seeks to offer theoretical guidance and decision-making support to advance innovative social governance in rural locales. Moving forward, China’s rural revitalization demands a more adaptive sustainable assessment within rural construction communities.

This study aims to investigate the cognitive mechanisms of rural residents amidst the renewal of suburban historical and cultural villages by examining the interplay between nostalgia, collective memory, subjective well-being, and place identity in rural tourism destinations. Using Naobao Village as a case study—a suburban historical and cultural village in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia—this research employs a comprehensive approach integrating experimental methods and questionnaire surveys. The findings demonstrate that analyzing the interaction among the four emotions can elucidate the cognitive mechanism of residents. Moreover, it uncovers that positive tourism effects significantly influence residents’ perception of their living environment with positive effects on collective memory, subjective well-being, and place identity. In the theoretical model for generating cognition among residents in suburban historical and cultural villages, subjective well-being and collective memory play crucial mediating roles. This study offers a novel perspective for spatial reconstruction and cultural evolution of tourist landscapes in suburban rural tourist destinations.

Identifying suitable development areas for outdoor ski resorts and assessing climate change impacts are of great significance for promoting sustainable development of snow and ice tourism. Based on multi-source data including ski resort information obtained from the OpenSkiMap platform, this study employed GIS spatial analysis and the SkiSim 2.0 model to examine ski resorts in 15 typical regions of China. The research aimed to identify ski resort development areas that meet tourism industry standards, classify development potential types, simulate future climate change impacts on outdoor ski resorts, and identify different development patterns under climate change. The findings reveal that: (1) Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces h natural resource foundations capable of supporting large-scale ski resort cluster development, while the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia are suitable for medium-scale ski resort layouts, and Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Gansu have extensively distributed areas suitable for small-scale ski resort development. (2) Ski resort development potential zones can be classified into five categories: comprehensive advantage areas, resource-support advantage areas, resource-market advantage areas, support-market advantage areas, and comprehensive disadvantage areas. (3) Under future climate change impacts, ski resorts in North China and Central China will face substantially increased artificial snowmaking demands, while ski resort operations in Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, and Hebei will remain relatively stable. (4) Ski resorts located in areas with high population density and high climate exposure require prioritized risk prevention and control under climate change, while areas with high population density but low climate exposure, as well as those of high concern yet low exposure present key priority development targets. This research provides a scientific basis for enhancing climate adaptation capacity in ski tourism and optimizing industrial spatial layout.
