Research On The Coupling Relationship Between Online-shopping And Express Logistics Based On Time-Space Perspective

Online shopping has deep into every aspect of people’s lives as a new way of shopping, its development will not only lead to some industries development but also need the support of some industries. Online shopping and express logistics promote and support each other. But it’s also full of contradictions and obstacles in the development of online shopping and express logistics. It also drew many domestic and foreign experts and scholars’attention to research.The paper has collect some researches of online shopping and express logistics research, logistics Statistical Yearbook, Statistical Reports for development of the Internet, China Statistical Yearbook and other information, and research object are31provinces and cities in China, combined with online shopping and express logistics coupling relationship analysis and previous experience to establish the coupling evaluation index system of online shopping and express logistics. Use of relevant-principal component analysis selected five indicators of online shopping system and seven indicators of express logistics system. Establish a coupled mathematical model of online shopping and express logistics, calculate the degree of coupling and coordination degree of online shopping and express logistics. Analyze the coupling affect mechanism between each index within the system, analyze the development features and phase of online shopping and express logistics development from the time series. Calculate the coupling and coupling coordination degrees of31provinces and cities, combined with the level of development of online shopping and express logistics, analyze the evolution from static and dynamic distribution spatially, and classify all areas. The paper make recommendations targeted online shopping and express logistics coordinated development.Results of the study shows:(1)in the coupling affect mechanism between each index within the system, information infrastructure plays an important supporting role for the development of express logistics, express running plays a vital role on the development of online shopping.(2) Online shopping and express logistics coupling of the timing show some of the stage and volatility,2002-2008for the first stage and2009-2013for the second.(3) Most of the provinces are still in the stage of high coupling under the low level of development, coupled system in higher GDP provinces remain stagnant and even retrogress, the low GDP of provinces gently developed.(4) According to the findings, make recommendations to online shopping and delivery logistics coordinated development.The paper aims to analyze coupling between online shopping and express logistics through research, reveal the interaction, linkage law and spatial distribution, lay the foundation for coordinated development between online shopping and express logistics.
