Abstract: Road network is the basis of social and economic development in rural areas. Based on the methods of road network and accessibility analysis, this paper build road network density, highway accessibility, closeness centrality, and straightness and other indicators to study the spatial pattern of road network accessibility in villages and towns, and correlated it with villagers’ spatial travel based on the survey of villagers. The results show that: (1) The density of roads is low and there are many broken roads in some villages, which cause poor accessibility in local areas; (2) The closeness centrality of each village shows a clear core-edge distribution pattern, affected by geographical location factors and highway coverage factors; (3) The shortage of high-grade road and it’s incompleteness greatly limit villagers’ travel efficiency and travel range, causing low satisfaction, and it holds back the progress of agricultural mechanization and the large-scale development of agricultural industry. Based on the characteristics of road network accessibility and villagers’ spatial travel demand, this paper gave advice on the road network remediation, the results might contribute to the study on road system in rural areas and the construction of new countryside.
