Abstract
Driven by great demand and enthusiasm on the construction of ports, some excessive construction of ports has led to the waste of precious resource. The importance of the research on regional port hierarchy layout is evident. The research employs the Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm to study Regional Port Hierarchy Layout, and eight coastal ports in Shandong province are used as examples. The results indicate that the fuzzy c means clustering based on the objective function is effective in regional port hierarchical layout, and can provide the theoretical support to the port layout.
