With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, traditional villages face challenges such as population hollowing, building disrepair, and the destruction of traditional landscapes, severely hindering their revitalization process. Therefore, Gulu Village, Yeji Village, and Gaotong Village in Sandu County, Guizhou Province were selected as representative traditional villages. Through field research and questionnaire surveys, farmers’ satisfaction and participation characteristics in the revitalization and utilization of these traditional villages were analyzed. The results show that farmers’ satisfaction with the revitalization and utilization is relatively high in the three villages, with Gaotong Village having the highest satisfaction, followed by Gulu Village, and Yeji Village having the lowest. This is closely related to the development of ecological tourism and ethnic crafts in Gaotong Village. In terms of participation willingness, the willingness of farmers to participate in the revitalization and utilization exceeds 90% in all three villages, with Gaotong Village having the highest participation enthusiasm, followed by Gulu Village, and Yeji Village the lowest. The main factors influencing participation willingness and satisfaction include economic benefits, infrastructure, industrial development, and policy support. It is recommended to enhance farmers’ satisfaction and participation enthusiasm through measures such as economic incentives and diversified income channels, providing technical training and professional guidance, strengthening community cooperation and self-governing organizations, improving infrastructure and living environments, promoting cultural heritage and tourism development, and formulating and implementing effective population policies.
