Entropy-Weight-AHP Evaluation on Clustering in Logistics Parks

Both Logistics Parks (LPs) and Industrial Clusters (ICs) are the subjects that receive gradual attention in field of either theory or practice. Relatively, the theory on ICs has been developed well, but its application in logistics industry remains to be studied. Firstly, by anglicizing, comparing, correlation studying, this paper finds the linkage, differences between LPs and ICs. Then, the necessity of clustering in LPs is studied in two levels: LPs are the supporting system of general ICs; the logistics industry itself in LPs should be developed in the direction of ICs; enlightened by the "Diamond" theory, an evaluation system is constructed. Finally, a method of Entropy-Weight-AHP for its calculation is proposed. The results show that the clustering in LPs has its theoretical and practicable value.
