Abstract	Based on the data obtained from face-to-face interview and the measurements using global positioning system (GPS) and geographical information system (GIS) technology, the village pattern evolution of the WL village in the middle of the Huang-Huai-Hai plain was studied. The main results are shown as follows. Firstly, the WL village goes through a series of evolution pattern including the absolute tardiness development before the establishment of People's Republic of China in 1949, the relative tardiness development before the implementation of the economic reform in 1978, the rapid expansion in the 1980s, the steady scale in the 1990s and the recessionary development in the early 21st century. In the meantime, the roads and ponds in the village have also been changed correspondingly. The village scale changed little before the implementation of reform and opening- up in 1978, the dilation of it was prominent from 1978 to the 1990s, and the empty and abandoned houses have increased largely since about 2000. Secondly, main factors influencing the village pattern evolution include the economic improvement, the change of society structure, urbanization and the effect of national policy, while population variation is still the decisive factor. Thirdly, the previous village expansion attributed to four aspects as follows: No family planning after the national liberation in 1949 resulted in population increasing enormously; the economic development enabled people to improve their habitations; the status of nuclear families (namely a family consisting of few people which only include husband, wife and their children in general.) was enhanced step by step; farmers were not conscious of the importance of protecting plantations. Finally, the urbanization and market economy develop further, the profit of planting grains is too small and the fast increase of population has been successfully controlled by the policy of family planning since the 1980s. All these drive the abandoned houses increasing and the village hollowing at present.
