What are the problems in the renewal of traditional houses in western Hunan?

I think there are three main problems:

1. Housing renovation lacks unified management.

Because the ownership of residential houses is owned by individuals, it is difficult to effectively supervise the reconstruction or expansion of residential houses. At present, the renovation of most traditional rural houses is still in the stage of free development, lacking planning guidance. In the process of updating the original ecological traditional village houses, the original ecological pattern has been broken, and the traditional village houses have become more and more chaotic. For example, the renovation or expansion of residential buildings is arbitrary; The exterior decoration of residential houses is not in harmony with the environment; The traditional village road design is unreasonable, even cutting off the original ecological village pattern.

2. Modern home decoration is not in harmony with traditional country style.

In the process of spontaneous renovation of the original ecological village houses, the blind use of modern materials appeared, and the original ecological earth building materials and construction technology were abandoned. For example, replace wooden windows with glass windows, wooden railings with stainless steel materials, and wood carving flower panes with aluminum alloys or other metal materials; In the newly-built houses, even the outer walls are decorated with wall tiles of different colors. The updated house uses a lot of modern materials in architecture and decoration, which is in sharp contrast with the traditional house in color. The problem of inequality between the old and the new has emerged, which leads to the disharmony of traditional village architectural styles.

3. There is a contradiction between residential renewal and tourism development.

As the cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, traditional villages have unique regional cultural tourism resources. With the unreasonable development and construction, the traditional village has changed. In the process of residential renewal, blindly pursuing the sense of the times and modernity often ignores the inheritance of cultural characteristics, resulting in constructive and protective destruction. In the process of tourism development, people often focus on the development of "eating, living, traveling, shopping and entertainment", while ignoring the development of regional characteristic resources and the protection of traditional folk houses. As a kind of spiritual enjoyment, tourists' psychological needs are "knowledge, innovation and pleasure", hoping to gain hard-won experiences and feelings through tourism, rather than satisfying basic material desires and conveniences. In the development of traditional villages, in order to meet the needs of tourists, the destruction of characteristic tourism resources will inevitably lead to new contradictions between protection and development.
