摘要：AbstractGully regions of Loess Plateau, as one of the earliest human settlement areas and one of the most fragile ecological areas in China, are facing challenge for future development. As the smallest social units on the Loess Plateau, gully villages own large amount of agricultural population. However, due to the unreasonable developing planning and the loss of developing directions, gully villages are gradually disappeared. Based on the practical investigation of Gansu and Shaanxi areas in China, this paper analyzes practical contradictions of gully villages. It proposes that villages with fragile ecological environment should be relocated to loess tableland, it is necessary to continue spatial layout of traditional villages, to recover vegetation on hills and to construct self-renewable development system through industry readjustment.
