LTD.10.18063/CEF.v3i11.1686ArticleResearch on the Environmental Art Design Expression of Local Markets in Hainan Free Trade Port and the Integration of Industry and Education in Educational Modelshttps://artdesignp.com/journal/CEF/3/11/10.18063/CEF.v3i11.1686QinNanrong20253112025-12-20Against the backdrop of the national strategy for developing the Hainan Free Trade Port, this study focuses on cultural preservation and innovative environmental art design in local market spaces. From an interdisciplinary perspective combining cultural geography and design studies, it examines the spatial manifestations of Li and Miao cultures alongside Southeast Asian cultures within traditional markets, exploring regional approaches to environmental art expression. The study proposes a tripartite educational framework centered on “cultural genes–design transformation–industry-education synergy,” establishing a collaborative industry-education integration system involving schools, enterprises, and communities. Empirical evidence demonstrates that this mechanism effectively cultivates interdisciplinary talents with both local cultural literacy and modern design capabilities, facilitating the transformation of market spaces from function-oriented to culture-scenario-oriented environments. It provides a replicable practical model for rural revitalization and culturally distinctive design education. The findings hold significant theoretical and practical implications for enhancing the cultural soft power of the Hainan Free Trade Port and ensuring the dynamic preservation of regional cultural heritage.Local farmers’ market, Environmental art expression, Industry-education integration, Hainan Free Trade Port, Cultural heritage preservation
