Abstract: In order to reveal spatial functions and forms of villages with grid spatial structure which is frequently seen in China,using remote sensing maps,the authors investigated types and problems of grid spatial structure of countryside.The grid structure lacks diversity and makes the spatial structure inflexible.It has become an obstacle to improving qualities of rural living space.In view of this,the authors have made some basic suggestions and put forward some new modes for spatial reconstruction.Rural space should be structurized and divided more deeply by spatial functions in entitle space so as to optimize the village functions, and should be more diverse in local space to improve the environmental quality.
