  We extend our study of random walks and induced Dirichlet forms on
self-similar sets [arXiv:1604.05440, 1612.01708] to compact spaces of
homogeneous type $(K, \rho ,\mu)$. A successive partition on $K$ brings a
natural augmented tree structure $(X, E)$ that is Gromov hyperbolic, and the
hyperbolic boundary is H\"older equivalent to $K$. We then introduce a class of
transient reversible random walks on $(X, E)$ with return ratio $\lambda$.
Using Silverstein's theory of Markov chains, we prove that the random walk
induces an energy form on $K$ with $$ {\mathcal E}_K [u] \asymp \iint_{K\times
K \setminus \Delta} \frac{|u(\xi) - u(\eta)|^2}{V(\xi, \eta)\rho (\xi,
\eta)^\beta} d\mu(\xi) d\mu(\eta), $$ where $V(\xi, \eta)$ is the $\mu$-volume
of the ball centered at $\xi$ with radius $\rho (\xi, \eta)$, $\Delta$ is the
diagonal, and $\beta$ depends on $\lambda$. In particular, for an $\alpha$-set
in ${\mathbb R}^d$, the kernel of the energy form is of order
$\frac{1}{|\xi-\eta|^{\alpha +\beta}}$. We also discuss conditions for this
energy form to be a non-local regular Dirichlet form.
