Research On Synergetic Development Between Port Logistic And Regional Economy

Promoting the synergic development between port logistics and regional economy is an effective way to realize the interaction of port and city. Port logistics creates a good platform for regional economy to integrate into the global industrial chain, realizing the prosperity of hinterland economy. At the same time, the growth of regional economy also provides sufficient supply of goods and capital for port logistics, promoting the development of port logistics. It is essential to clarify the synergy mechanism between port logistics and regional economy, in order to improve the collaborative development level of multi-system and create win-win situation.As port logistics and regional economy are both complex system, this paper discusses the interaction of them from a perspective of system instead of one-to-one analysis. Firstly, according to the system coordination theory and regional economic theory, this paper analyzes the collaborative mechanism between port logistics and regional economy. Secondly, this article formulates a multi-system synergy degree model for the relationship between port logistics and regional economy of Chongqing in 2001-2013. The finding of which demonstrates that the two subsystems are synergistic, and the synergy degree raises as time go by, they reach a moderate synergistic status in 2013; Since 2010, the development speed of regional economy is higher than the speed of port logistics, so there is something must be done to strengthen the positive impact of port logistics to regional economy. Lastly, based on the research results, this paper puts forward three suggestions to improve the collaborative development level of multi-system, such as, strengthening the construction of port infrastructure to improve the port transportation system, enhancing the cooperation among the different ports to make full use of the resources, adjusting the structure of harbor city to build the industrial cluster area.
