A case study has been made of Baihelingxia Village, Ningxi Town，Huangyan District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. Based on the land use map and topographic map of Ningxi Town in 2016, as well as the spatial analysis ability of GIS, a quantitative analysis has been made of the spatial distribution characteristics of rural residential areas in this target area. A spatial analysis of the target area shows that 98.5% of the rural settlements are mainly distributed in the flat zone with a lower elevation, with its distribution pattern mainly banded and clustered. 99.5% of the residential areas are located in horizontal areas or gentle slope areas, which is more suitable for agricultural production. 98.5% of rural settlements are concentrated in Yangpo, which is suitable for agricultural production and daily life. The road buffer analysis shows that some residential areas in the target area are far away from the main road, with internal roads to be further improved, which will exert certain impact on housing construction and production development in the area.
