Abstract: The spatial pattern evolution characteristics of the village and small-town settlements are the important basis for optimizing the allocation of regional elements. This paper took the village and small-town settlements in Chengde central district and its surroundings as the research object, and digitized multi-source remote sensing data based on ENVI, and analyzed the spatial pattern evolution characteristics under the influence of different urban-rural relations based on GIS, which took standard deviation ellipse, nearest neighbor index (ANN) and kernel density estimation (KDE) as the spatial analysis methods. The results showed that: the spatial pattern evolution of village and small-town settlements is that from centripetal concentration to peripheral diffusion, the central position shifted and the degree of aggregation weakened under the driving forces, where the internal driving forces are topography features and river water system, the external driving forces are road system and economic development, and the comprehensive driving force is urban-rural development contradictions. The overall spatial pattern gradually changes from single center layout mode to multi center layout mode, and finally to a complex and balanced network spatial pattern which is constituted by multiple "core-periphery" mode structures.
