Functional evolution of island dwellings in Dongshan Island, Fujian, under the influence of socio-cultural factors

Shuyu Liu / Fei Ye

Unique natural conditions and socio-cultural backgrounds influenced the evolution of island dwellings, a type of dwellings in China. Over time, the influence of socio-cultural factors, particularly on architectural functions, has gradually become prominent. This study takes Tongshan Ancient City in Dongshan County, Fujian Province, as an example to study the changes in function and socio-cultural factors, and clarify this mechanism. It investigates 52 dwellings, and summarizes the evolution of architectural functions. By analyzing two clues of changes, this study determined three main socio-cultural factors with the most influence: transformation of industrial structure, change of personnel composition, and continuity of religious beliefs.
