The spatial development patterns of administrative villages have attracted attention worldwide. It is a research hot- spot to identify and classify the spatial development patterns precisely in the field of rural geography. In this paper, we introduced the "cell- chain- shape" method, the gravity model, the breaking point model, the factor analysis method and the frequency statistics method, to analyze the spatial development patterns of the 184 administrative villages in Qingpu District of Shanghai Municipality. We identified the spatial development patterns (shapes) - the conductive interfac...
