As the countryside in similar geographical positions may have similar development features, the different rural types could be distinguished based on this. While building landscape and developing leisure & recreation, the countryside should be combined closely with the issues of local production, living and ecology, as well as be oriented with the overall developing policy, thus to achieve the goals by cooperating and supporting each other. By taking the countryside in Puli Basin of Nantou County as an example, and following the concept of creating a high-quality rural environment, strengthening and combining the development of production, living and ecology, the development planning of the whole district is proposed with three traffic axis and ecological parts by using the investigation and analysis of rural characteristic potential resources, hoping to lead the countryside to continue sustainable development and improve the quality in the future.
