Abstract: Using mapping and surveying methods, the factors affecting village system distribution in different regions are analysed and compared. The results show that villages located in piedmonts, low and coastal plains are respectively characterized by uniform, random and aggregation distributions, and those in mountainous and hill yregions are distributed aggregatively in valley floor, mountainous foot, piedmont fringe and billy land. Their size varies with different landforms. The distribution patterns of villate systems in Hebei province are affected by natural resources, water systems, farm productivity and social-economic conditions, and are divided into eight types of regions.
