N2 - This paper analyzed the spatial distribution of ethnic villages of two groups, Miao and Dong, in the Qiandongnan mountainous region based on field survey data, DEM, and vector map. Five variables: elevation, slope, aspect, distance between villages and rivers, and distance between villages and roads were considered as key factors affecting spatial distribution of ethnic villages. Results showed that Miao group villages mainly settled on the southern aspect with elevation between 273m and 1256m, and the range of slope was 1.14-36.11°. The distribution of Dong group villages was on the eastern aspect with elevation between 244m and 915m and slope between 1.64°and 30.44°. This research concluded that the terrain had a greater influence on the distribution of the Miao group villages than Dong group villages. A large part of ethnic inhabitants were far away from water sources and the motorway.
