| Agglomeration is the essence of economic activity and agglomeration effects can effectively promote regional economic growth. As a direct representation of agglomeration effects, industrial agglomeration is the general rule of economic development, the inevitable outcome of the industrialization process, an important source of industrial competitiveness and the concentrated representation of regional economic development level. By effectively exerting agglomeration effects, industrial agglomeration has great significance on regional industry and economics.As part of the city, comprehensive transportation hub contains high accessibility factors which has strong agglomeration effects on high-tech, high value-added, technology-intensive industries. Comprehensive transportation hub planning should take full account of agglomeration effect factors, and combine with surrounding regional planning in order to focus on transportation value of hub areas and agglomeration value of industrial development. Comprehensive transportation hub planning should firstly meet the connectivity and transfer demands of various transport modes, and then take further use of agglomeration effects brought by multi-transport modes, so as to intensify industrial agglomeration, provide extent city services, raise the city's competitiveness and promote the coordinated city development. Therefore, comprehensive transportation hub planning should not only consider the realization of hub transport function, but also focus on industrial and city developments. Combined with industrial agglomeration factors, this paper studies related issues of agglomeration effects oriented method of comprehensive transportation hub planning.The paper, firstly, introduces the research background and significance of agglomeration effects oriented method of comprehensive transportation hub planning and present the main contents of research. Secondly, reviews related theories of agglomeration effects, learns the definition and essence of agglomeration effects and introduces related theories of industrial agglomeration. Thirdly, analyses the relation between agglomeration effects and comprehensive transportation hub planning, studies the concepts and characteristics of comprehensive transportation hub, definite the relation between agglomeration effects and comprehensive transportation hub planning, and analyses the industrial agglomeration factors that affect comprehensive transportation hub planning. Fourthly, researches the agglomeration effects oriented method of comprehensive transportation hub planning, which contains the influencing factors analysis, hub functional hierarchy analysis, hubs functional areas division, land development and utilization, demand forecasting, scale determination, functional areas layout methods and modes, regional transport system planning and industrial park planning. In the end, applies agglomeration effects oriented method of comprehensive transportation hub planning on Leshan city comprehensive transportation hub planning to conduct a case analysis. |
