Abstract: In this paper, we take the case of Gaoyin Dong Minority Community in Jiuchao Town, Liping County, Guizhou Province, as a typical case. From the perspective of the peasant household's homestead land use, the scale of homestead land use and its internal characteristics, spatial evolution and its morphological characteristics in Gaoyin Dong Minority Community have been studies in this paper. The results show that the proportion of homestead land expansion in the total area has reached more than 70% in Gaoyin Dong Minority Community since 1990, and the average of the peasant household's homestead land area has remained 170m2. The expansion of homestead land has the tendency of accelerating and spreading in Gaoyin Dong Minority Community, and newly built housing more and more choose brick structure and give up the traditional shingle structure. The residential functions of peasant homesteads are constantly strengthening while the production functions are gradually weakening and the internal structure tends to be simplified and intensive. In the recent thirty years, there is an evolutionary process from along the "Getang" introverted filling to outward expansion of the "Fengyuqiao", this tendency embodies the "Yi Shan Bang Shui" building concept of Dong Minority.
