Factors influencing the distribution of the rural settlements: (a) elevation, (b) slope (c) river networks, (d) cultivated land resources, (e) road networks, (f) city-town radiation effect. Note: All these maps were created by authors using ArcGIS 10.2 but maps a, b and c were based on the digital elevation model (DEM) data from NASA (www.earthdata.nasa.gov); map d was derived from the land use data (30 m) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (https://www.resdc.cn/); map e digitized from Google Earth (©Google ) and map f generated using network analysis within ArcGIS.
