Mechanism of Logistics Centralizing Function Based on Regional Economy
Publication: International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007
Abstract
Economic assemblages which make continuous and prompt progress in regional economy, forming the "gain-in pole", economy of city circle centered in megalopolis as the main stream of economic development surrounding the cities, characterized in circularity, gradually expanded, shaped a "polarization-diffusion" effect in central cities and its hinterland or sideward towns, is an internal economy-related network. Modern logistic, as an important composing part of operative serving industry, transferring from an administrative supporting function in the 1970s to strategic guiding function in the 1990s, has a close relationship with regional economy integration. The discrepancies and complementarities within and of regional economy system is the fundamental reason for regional logistics development. Serving as a guide in the service to the development of regional economy accompanied by the quantity increases of regional logistic, the assembling of modern logistics would play a key role. The predominance of industry clusters in which form compact industry chains embodies the low cost and innovation in regional economy. The convergence effect of logistic industry is close related to the upgrade of the industry chain value. Based on the basic characters and function position of modern logistics, this paper discusses the connotation and functional mechanism of the convergence of modern logistic industry, analyses the relationship between regional economy and logistic service industry, and argues the optimizing function of industry structure under the influence convergence of logistic service industry. Following the standardized researching methods, the paper put forward the basic frame of operation pattern in the area where modern logistic will assemble in China.
