Using model quantitative analysis and horizontal comparative analysis methods, this paper explores the process characteristics of rural residential land use scale transition and the Citation: Qu, Y.; Dong, X.; Zhan, L.; corresponding stage differentiation law of spatial structure and system function. Research has Si, H.; Ping, Z.; Zhu, W. Scale shown that the stage characteristics of the scale transition of rural residential land use in Shandong Transition and Structure–Function Province in the past 10 years are significant.
