With the three waves of craft renaissance in the West, as well as the problems of global climate change and resource shortages in the Anthropocene, how to make better use of materials and explore different making cultures has attracted the attention of Western academia. As one of the emerging fields in Western geographic research that has received much attention in recent years, geographies of making attempts to provide methods for addressing current material and environmental crises by focusing on the practice of body and material interactions at different scales, and hopes to reexamine how humans relate to materials, produce goods, and construct economic and social structures around materials based on a concern for environmental and socioeconomic well-being. Through a review of the literature on Western geographies of making, this study found that relevant research mainly adopts auto-ethnographic, apprenticeship, and other embodied participatory research methods, with a focus on multiple contexts of making, body in making, materials in making, practices in making, and relationships of making. It also explored research topics that need attention in China, including the protection of craftsmen and sustainable utilization of materials, the fluidity of making practices and place reconstruction, craft making and sustainable livelihoods for rural craftsmen, and the everyday practice of making and happiness and friendship. This work will lay a foundation for implementing policies such as the "Revitalization Plan for Chinese Traditional Crafts" and rural revitalization, providing important theoretical guidance for innovative development and creative transformation of intangible cultural heritage, as well as the harmonious development of human-environment relationship in the process of making.

As human infrastructure activities are becoming increasingly frequent, the impact of infrastructure activities on human-land relationship and human social-spatial structure has triggered extensive discussions in human geography and other related disciplines. This study systematically discussed the research context and core issues of the feminist infrastructure geography studies. First, this study categorized the research literature on infrastructure in geography and found that the research on infrastructure in geography showed a trend of "social-cultural turn" that emphasizes that infrastructure is not only about its functional attribute, but also has multiple attributes, such as social and cultural ones. Second, from the perspective of feminist geography, this study emphasized the important value of gender and the related core-periphery perspective in the social-cultural turn in infrastructure research and pointed out that feminism can provide an excellent perspective with both micro and macro perspectives for analyzing the spatial effects of infrastructure. Third, based on the different impacts and paths of the heterogeneity of human society reflected in the gender perspective on the transformation and utilization of the environment by using infrastructure, this study outlined the main content of feminist infrastructure research based on the gender perspective from two different fields, namely, the gender difference at the producing end of infrastructure as well as at the using end of infrastructure. Based on such literature, this study finally built a core conceptual framework and analytical framework for feminist infrastructure geography studies. In the end, the developments of feminist infrastructure geography studies presented in this article also provide a good opportunity for an interdisciplinary dialogue on a larger and broader scale by other scholars broadly concerned with feminist topics.
