Optimising the layout of garbage bins is a requirement for improving the utilisation efficiency of rural infrastructure and continuously promoting the renovation of rural human settlements in China. This study selects Yuding Village in Chongqing, China, as the study area. The present distribution of garbage bins and the existing problems are analysed on the basis of interview materials and the point on interest data of garbage bins obtained from an on-the-spot investigation. Actor network theory (ANT) is suitable for small-scale micro research, and thus, this study uses ANT to construct a research framework for garbage bin layout optimisation. Then, it designs an optimisation path for the layout of garbage bins in Yuding Village by identifying different actors and their common interests, classifying the transformation of roles amongst various actors and building a stable heterogeneous network that can be used as a guide for determining the optimal spatial layout of garbage bins. This study combines a sociological theory with geospatial phenomena, providing a new idea for studying the optimal layout of infrastructure.
优化垃圾桶的布局是提高农村基础设施利用效率、持续推进中国农村人居环境整治的要求。本研究选择中国重庆的雨顶村作为研究区域。在访谈资料和现场调查获得的垃圾桶兴趣点数据的基础上，分析了目前垃圾桶的分布和存在的问题。行动者网络理论（ANT）适用于小规模微观研究，因此，本研究使用 ANT 构建了一个用于垃圾桶布局优化的研究框架。然后，通过识别不同的行动者及其共同利益，对雨顶村垃圾桶布局的优化路径进行设计，对各行动者之间角色的转变进行分类，并构建一个稳定的异质网络，作为确定垃圾桶最优空间布局的指导。本研究将社会学理论与地理空间现象相结合，为研究基础设施的最优布局提供了新思路。
