Study On Basin Logistics Theory And Application Based On Water Transport

Into the 21st century, the environmental pollution and resources shortages facing the mankind are more and more serious. Under such circumstances, the symbiotic trend of the environmental, society and ecomony is appearing in logistics industry.But the current logistics theory taking the economic logistics as its research objective does not follow the situation completely. Water transport has advantages of environmental-protecting, resources-saving and ecomomy, and how to establish the new development mode of logistics of comprehensive attributes,with the help of rich resources of water transport in basin regions,is both a major practical task and a pressing theoretical issue.According to the current situation of shortages of water transport studies in economic logistics researches, this dissertation brings water transport of comprehensive attributes and logistics to study together and puts forward the development mode and theoretical framework for basin logistics so as to satisfy the need of the industrialization and sustainable development, based on a plenty of literature researches.The theory separately studies some basic theoretic problems such as elements,boundary,characteristics, pillars of theory,methodology, types, stages of development, network structure, dynamic mechanism between logistics and economy and application of basin logistics. Especially, empirical researches on basin logistics of Chinese provinces and municipalities, the logistics network of the Pearl River and the dynamic mechanism between the economy and logistics of Yangtze River are also made. There are innovation points of the dissertation in the below:Firstly, innovation in theory. The research objective of the currentl logistics theory belongs to micro level and although regional logistics keeps an eye on the macro level researches, its has many shortcomings such as no scientificly and widely accepted system, purely economic goal and more researches on not economic region but administration region, which are not fitful for the trend of today. So the dissertation puts forward basin logistics theory of comprehensive attributes to fill the blank of logistics theory.Secondly, innovation in method application.In the first chapter, the dissertation has a clustering analysis and principal component analysis on Chinese basin logistics with the software SPSS and the conclusions reveal that location and utilization degree of water resources are key factors of basin logistics being advanced or not,and that basin logistics and the degree of economic development has positive correlation; the usual mathematical statistics technologies do not process relationship data,but the attribute data, On the contrary, the society network analysis (SNA) can deal with relationship data. In the fourth chapter, the dissertation makes analysis of centrality, centralization, betweeness centrality, subgroup, core and periphery on the network of 21 port cities in the Pearl River basin with the help of the software Ucinet and shows the characteristics of the network structure. In the fifth chapter, the dissertation uses system dynamics (SD) to analyze the interactive mechanism between the logistics and economic with the help of the software Vensim PLE and the simulation data is in conformity with the real data, which testifies the model of simulation successful.
