Huizhou traditional villages are shaped by compact building groups, fine-grained alleys, courtyards, water systems and terrain, yet most environmental evidence for this settlement fabric remains concentrated at dwelling and street scales. Regional comparison is therefore needed to test whether settlement-fabric morphology carries a transferable architectural signal across villages. This study develops a regional architectural-morphology reading of within-village surface-temperature heterogeneity. A 60-village regional frame was screened to 25 villages meeting common Landsat availability and quality criteria. Mapped building form was translated into five architectural constructs—plan-area occupation (building coverage ratio, BCR), building-plan grain, spacing and locational regularity, continuity and interstitial openness, and directional order—together with terrain and neighborhood-scale vertical context. Surface temperature was read relatively within each village and acquisition date, while transfer was evaluated by holding out entire villages. Under village-grouped cross-validation, morphology-only transfer reached R² = 0.377, compared with 0.186 for terrain alone; plan-area occupation (BCR) alone reached R² = 0.329. Plan-area occupation (BCR) was the strongest architectural construct, followed by spacing and locational regularity, while matched 2019–2024 locations showed strong repeatability (Pearson r = 0.963). Among the tested morphology contexts, 300 m provided the strongest signal in a restricted common sample and is interpreted as settlement context rather than a design radius. Independent land-cover composition and site-scale street/courtyard geometry belong to a finer evidence level, so the regional associations guide screening while local evidence resolves site-scale conditions. The study therefore supports a regional-to-local diagnostic bridge that uses settlement-fabric comparison to prioritize targeted architectural and heritage assessment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
