【内容提要】本文以城市清洁能源集中供暖改造实践为研究对象，分析这一过程中行动者网络的构建如何拓展基础设施柔性建设。研究以山西贺县城区集中供暖改造的三个社区作为典型案例，讨论了人（熟人代表、楼长、村委会）和非人行动者（换热站、分户管网、断桥窗等设施）如何相互推动，最终促成清洁供暖系统稳定运行。研究发现，基础设施柔性化建设不是单纯的技术升级，须依托融合人与非人行动者的动态网络，通过“连接性”“模块化”与“兼容性”三种路径，实现集中供暖管网与实际需求的匹配。基础设施柔性建设与行动者网络共同支撑起县域清洁能源供暖复杂系统的稳定运行。

Actor-Network and Infrastructure Flexibility Construction:A Case Study on Central Heating Retrofitting in He County

Abstract: This study focuses on the practice of urban centralized clean energy heating retrofitting, analyzing how the construction of an actor network enhances infrastructure flexibility throughout the process. Specifically, it examines three residential communities in the urban area of He County, Shanxi Province, that have undergone central heating retrofitting as illustrative cases. The study analyzes how human actors (such as community representatives, building managers, and village committees) and non-human actors (including heat exchange stations, householdlevel pipeline networks, and thermal insulation windows) interact to drive the bottomup stabilization of clean heating systems. The findings reveal that flexibility construction in infrastructure is not solely a technical upgrade but relies on a dynamic network integrating both human and non-human actors. This process achieves an alignment between standardized supply and diverse user demands through three pathways, namely connectivity, modularity, and compatibility. Infrastructure flexibility and actor-network mutually shape each other, forming a complex system of county-level clean energy heating.
