近现代陇东地方居住形态主要表现出两种形式:一是散居型,住民远离河川、大道,遁隐于偏僻之地;二是聚居型,聚族居住,建堡自卫。近现代陇东社会所呈现出的这种居住形态,不仅受地方自然条件、经济社会条件的影响,安全防卫、抵御劫掠的安全需要同样深刻影响着近代陇东地方的居住形态。随着社会由乱而治,住民逐渐搬出深山,向河川、阔塬等水路、地条件较好的地方集中,窨子、堡子等防卫性建筑因失去使用价值而废弃,逐渐淡出人们的日常生活实践。 Modern Longdong local living patterns mainly in two forms: First, diaspora, residents away from rivers, roads, escape hidden in remote areas; second is concentrated, poly-living, building self-defense. The living patterns in modern Longdong society are not only affected by local natural conditions and economic and social conditions, but also have a profound impact on the living patterns of modern Longdong places. As society is controlled by the chaos, the inhabitants gradually move out of the mountainous areas and concentrate on the rivers and valleys and other waterways and places where the conditions are favorable. The defensive buildings such as princes and forts are discarded due to the loss of their use value and gradually fade out of their daily lives practice.
