ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore a cultural-driven revitalization model for fishing village spaces. Focusing on Xunpu Village in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, the research primarily employs a case study approach, utilizing field surveys and interviews to gather information on the formation time, spatial distribution, and types of operations of the Zanhuawei shops in Xunpu Village. Zanhuawei is a kind of headdress that only women in Xunpu will decorate in special times and places. The study finds that the Zanhuawei Weir industry, as the dominant type of industry in Xunpu Village, has to some extent altered the village's economic model. The Zanhuawei industry has replaced the traditional fishing industry and has had a stimulating effect on the revitalization of local commercial and residential spaces. Numerous idle spaces have been reactivated. Thus, this culture-driven revitalization model plays a positive role in alleviating the problem of idle spaces in fishing villages.
