Abstract：Tectonic Island is one of the important types of islands in China, and the development of the island makes it face the
contradiction between development and the continuation of rural landscape characteristics. This paper aims to integrate
socio-economic and spatial planning analysis perspectives to study the rural landscape characteristics of Tectonic
Island, taking Yangjiang Hailing Island as an example. By analyzing the distribution pattern of traditional settlements
on Hailing Island, this paper proposes the coupling relationship between the industrial development of Hailing Island
settlements and the special natural environment, revealing the logic of Hailing Island’s habitat construction and rural
landscape characteristics, and providing reference for the sustainable development of other tectonic island landscapes.
