ABSTRACT

We explored the symbiotic relationship of villages on the Jimei Peninsula from the perspective of new human ecology adopting literature analysis and field investigation, and the four steps of reading, sorting, analysis, and induction for qualitative research. Two stages of Jimei Peninsula's development from natural areas to human ecosystems were analyzed by using the survey data in this research, and the spatial evolution process of Jimei Peninsula's development from a fishing village to a Jimei School Village was analyzed. The key factors in the formation of natural areas were political rather than economic, and the human ecosystem is determined by the spatial pattern embedded in the village and the school. After adaptation, growth, and evolution, Jimei School Village and the environment of the peninsula formed a symbiotic relationship of convergence and complementarity.
