Abstract: Based on the data of China's beautiful leisure villages (hereinafter referred to as beautiful villages) published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China from 2010 to 2022 in Southwest China (Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, Chongqing City),the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of beautiful villages in Southwest China were explored by using methods such as nearest proximity index, kernel density analysis, standard deviation ellipse, and superposition analysis. The results showed that there were obvious aggregation characteristics in the spatial distribution of beautiful villages in Southwest China, showing the characteristics of uneven distribution of multiple cores. Its spatial distribution had always shown a northeast-southwest pattern, and the center of gravity shifted from southwest to northeast. Natural environmental conditions were the basis for the formation of spatial differentiation in beautiful villages; human factors played a driving role in the spatial differentiation of beautiful villages in Southwest China.

Key words: beautiful villages, GIS, spatial distribution, influence factors, Southwest China
