摘      要：In 2015,the Study of Xi’an Historic Walled City Regeneration Strategy applied the Historic Urban Land­scape(HUL)Approach through experimenting and testing digital technologies following recommended action steps of HUL *** the context of urbanisation and heritage deterioration happened past decades in Chinese cities,this paper proposes an innovative HUL Information System that can be used to integrate the ap­proach and technical support *** enables comprehensive identification of spatial-temporal relativity of urban landscape morphology,linking between the past and *** use of spatial digital tools such as aerial photo modeling,geographic information system analysis,and space syntax is explored to trace the continuity of the historical landscape in the built *** research team uncovered the context of Xi’an’s cultural and his­torical landscape through historical literature and related studies over past decades,and summarised and obtained a spatial data set for the dominant historical landscape pattern of the walled city *** with the existing spatial pattern identified by digital tools,the findings showed similarity with historical landscape patterns,including part of a fengshui landform,the 17^(th) to 19^(th) century water system,and an evolving community *** could be explained by the literature and academic research,which demonstrates the influence of historic landscape system in urban *** research aims to show the potential of the HUL Information System as a technical support for urban conservation in Chinese cities,particularly with regard to mapping resources,which is fundamental toward other relevant steps in the HUL approach.
