Research On Evolution Characteristics And Driving Mechanism Of Spatial Agglomeration Of Logistics Industry In China

Logistics industry is an important basic industry to effectively realize social reproduction and improve the operational efficiency of national economy.It plays a great role in stabilizing market supply and demand,developing new circulation forms and optimizing industrial structure.With the deepening development of economic globalization and the deepening of international division of labor,the global procurement of raw materials makes logistics develop rapidly.Under this background,it is of great significance to reveal accurately the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of China's logistics industry agglomeration and its influencing factors.With This research is based on the panel data of 31 provincial regions from 2008 to 2017,using the method of location entropy and spatial autocorrelation to measure the agglomeration level of logistics industry in China,and the spatial pattern evolution of logistics industry agglomeration is analyzed by means of ArcGIS software.Meanwhile,the spatial Durbin econometric model is constructed to explore the economic environment,Industrial development level,human resource capacity,policy supply capacity,infrastructure construction,information technology and the degree of opening to the outside world affect the level of logistics industry agglomeration.The empirical results show that there are obvious spatial differentiation characteristics of China's logistics industry agglomeration level,and it generally shows a gradually weakening trend from east to west,forming a logistics mainly in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei,Yangtze River Delta,Pearl River Delta,and Sichuan-Chongqing regions.Hot spots with high industrial concentration.The evolution of the logistics industry's agglomeration spatial pattern manifests itself in the evolution from "Beijing-Shanghai dual-core" to "multiple cores".The level oflogistics industry agglomeration in eastern provinces is significantly higher than that in central and western provinces.The agglomeration of logistics industry shows significant spatial autocorrelation,but the intensity of spatial autocorrelation has converged,and the spatial differences in logistics industry agglomeration tend to weaken;the economic development environment,The level of industrial development,regional human capital,policy supply capacity,and information technology level have a significant positive effect on the logistics industry agglomeration,and promote the promotion of the logistics industry agglomeration.Finally,this paper gives the following suggestions: Local governments should continue to give play to the guiding role of logistics industry policies and related plans,strengthen regional linkages and cooperation in neighboring provinces and cities;make full use of emerging technologies such as big data cloud computing,artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to empower traditional logistics industries;Actively respond to the "One Belt,One Road" open strategy,open up new channels for international logistics and transportation,and make use of the spillover effects of foreign-funded logistics companies;foster large-scale logistics hub cities in emerging regions;adjust the transportation and distribution structure to encourage multimodal transport of public railways and water,and improve logistics transportation efficiency.
