以新疆喀什地區為例,利用地理信息系統軟件對考古和文獻資料進行處理,繪制了不同時期聚落空間分布圖,通過各時期聚落分布圖的疊加,分析了喀什地區古代聚落的總體空間分布格局及其演變規律,最后通過相關影響因子的分析,揭示了聚落時空分布特征的成因。

With Kashigar Area of Xinjiang Autonomous Region as an example,and by use of GIS software,the archaeological and literature materials are processed to draw settlement distribution maps of different historical periods.Through the overlay of these maps,this paper analyzes the general spatial distribution pattern and evolution rules of the ancient settlements in this area.In the end,through the analysis on some of the related influencing factors,the paper reveals the causes of time-space distribution characteristics of these settlements.
