Abstract: The rural spatial research and inheritance protection of traditional villages are becoming the focuses of rural revitalization and heritage protection. So far, various spatial analysis methods have emerged in the research of the characteristics of village public space. Based on the existing settlement space research, this paper proposed a special Nolli map analysis method which is more suitable for rural areas compared it with traditional spatial analysis methods. Taking the Meibei Village's Nolli map as an example, this paper analyzed the advantages and significance of Nolli map on expression in the public space system from both macro and micro perspectives. Compared with the traditional spatial analysis methods, this paper reveals that the Nolli map not only breaks through the limits of current researches, but also can explore the integrity, continuity, and structural changes of the rural public space system more completely and intuitively. The advantage of Nolli map on expressing the public space system has a greater positive significance for the protection of traditional settlements and the rural construction under the global spatial recognition.
