【Objective】 As per the new era and the comprehensive development of territorial spatial planning and the proposed rural revitalization strategy, the evaluation of village development potential is basic to rural planning and construction. The evaluation is also the core link to village planning under territorial spatial planning and a key guide to the classification of villages. 【Method】 Taking “background explanation-potential evaluation-village classification-classification pattern-development strategy” as the research path, seven criterion layers and 19 indicator layers were constructed according to the structural framework of target layer-criterion layer-indicator layer. The weights of indicators were determined by AHP and the entropy weight method. Based on this, villages in Lingbi County in Anhui Province were classified. Next, the landscape pattern of classified villages was analyzed based on Fragstats. 【Result】 Lingbi County in Anhui Province was divided into four types of villages: agglomeration enhancement, suburban integration, characteristic protection and relocation and withdrawal. Agglomeration enhancement villages had the largest landscape area, the most complex landscape shape, and the highest landscape agglomeration degree. The patch integration degree of suburban-integrated villages was the highest with the best landscape connectivity. The landscape complexity of the villages of relocation and withdrawal was the highest. Corresponding development strategies were proposed for different village types. 【Conclusion】 Corresponding development strategies are put forward for different village types: agglomeration and upgrading villages have a certain scale, an important breakthrough for rural modernization. During construction, the village layout should be optimized, the internal structure of the village should be properly adjusted, the construction of the village infrastructure should be improved, and the village’s appearance should be improved. The relationship between protection and development should be fully considered, and the integrity, authenticity, and continuity of village characteristics should be emphasized. In the construction of suburban-integrated villages, we should make use of their location advantages, focus on improving the village’s internal facilities, optimize the spatial layout, and discourage continuous expansion. At the same time, the overall style of the village should be different from the urban landscape—industrial development should be combined with the characteristics of the villages, village resources should be integrated, and the docking and integration of urban and rural industries should be strengthened. As per different industries, block division is conducted to realize the centralized development of industry and the intensive development of land. The natural resources in the villages should be protected, and rational land use and local resources should be combined to build characteristic tourism projects to develop village tourism. The relocation and withdrawal villages should merge, through spatial integration, with neighboring villages with high development potential to form the scale effect of village merger. The merger will enhance development potential and comprehensive competitiveness. The intention to relocate villagers and the restoration of rural ecology should be important considerations. The study provides method reference and a decision basis for the evaluation and classification of county-level rural potential.
