Abstract: For the aspect of topography and human activities, a systematic and distinctive water conservancy landscape of cave dwelling settlement has been formed in northern Shaanxi. In a view point of regional design work, this paper discusses the formation mechanism and basic features of the water conservancy landscape of cave settlements in northern Shaanxi. It reviewed the traditional experience of the water conservancy landscape form and summarized the technical characteristics formation of cave dwelling settlement from the way of stormwater management. Focusing on the core contradictions in the spatial and elements of specific stormwater management goals in different settlement sites. It constructed 6 typical design forms of water conservancy elements based on traditional wisdom and modern LID technology in all, meanwhile, it brings out specific strategies for the protection of water conservancy landscapes and takes it as the master plan practices base.
