    Utilizing the analytical framework of Actor-Network Theory, this paper takes Aoqian Village in the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone as a case study site to explore the pathways and impact mechanisms of multidimensional spatial restructuring in tourism-oriented rural areas. The research finds that: (1) In the process of rural spatial reconstruction in Aoqian Village, the village committee, villagers, government departments, social groups, and land function as the main actors in the construction of the actor network; (2) Driven by tourism, multiple actors achieve benefit sharing, leading to a reshaping of Aoqian Village's economic functions, spatial functions, and social networks; (3) The driving forces behind the spatial restructuring of Aoqian Village en-compass both endogenous and exogenous drivers, which are coupled through bidirectional translation, thereby promoting the orderly restructuring of the rural space.
