Role of mountains and rivers in the formation of logistics enterprises'spatial pattern in the central urban areas of Chongqing

The complex landforms of a Shan-shui City(Shan-shui refers to mountains and rivers)significantly impact the selection of locations for logistics enterprises.This paper takes Chongqing,one of the most typical Shan-shui Cities in China,as the research object,and adopts spatial analysis methods and a mediating effect model,to explore the role of mountains and rivers in the formation of logistics enterprises’spatial pattern on the street scale.The study results reveal that 90% of the logistics enterprises in the central urban areas of Chongqing are located in the low-altitude area below 353m above sea level,and distributed in a north-south direction along the mountains,as a result of blockage by mountain ranges,such as those of Zhongliang Mountain and Tongluo Mountain.More than 70% of the logistics enterprises are located less than 5 km from either the Yangtze River or Jialing River,spreading along the rivers.In addition,more than half of the logistics enterprises in commercial and financial,and residential land are located within the urban core area,while 80.83% of the logistics enterprises located in warehousing land and industrial land are concentrated in the urban expansion area.In areas with high land prices,the negative effect of altitude on logistics enterprise agglomeration is weakened,while the promotion effect of river proximity on logistics enterprise agglomeration is enhanced.In the urban core area with the advantage of low altitude and proximity to the Jialing and Yangtze Rivers,the role of mountains and rivers on logistics enterprises is not apparent;in contrast,in the urban expansion area with more complex landforms,land price can be an effective means for the government to macro-manage the spatial pattern of logistics enterprises in a Shan-shui City.

Location characteristics and differentiation mechanism of logistics nodes and logistics enterprises based on points of interest （POI）： A case study of Beijing

The logistics nodes and logistics enterprises are the core carriers and organiza- tional subjects of the logistics space, and their location characteristics and differentiation strategies are of key importance to optimizing urban logistics spatial patterns and ensuring reasonable resource allocation. Based on Tencent Online Maps Platform from December 2014, 4396 logistics points of interest （POI） were collected in Beijing, China. By the methods of industrial concentration evaluation and kernel density analysis, the spatial distribution pattern of logistics in Beijing are explored, the interaction mechanism among the type differ- ence, supply-demand side factors and location choice behavior are clarified, and the internal mechanism of spatial differentiation under the combined influence of transportation, land rent and assets are revealed. The following conclusions are drawn in the paper. （1） Logistics en- terprises and logistics nodes exhibit the characteristic of both co-agglomeration and spatial separation in location, and logistics activities display the spatial pattern of ＂marginal area of downtown area, suburbs and exurban area＂, which have a weak coupling degree with logis- tics employment space. （2） The public logistics space, namely, logistics parks and logistics centers, is produced under the guidance of the government, and the terminal logistics space consisting of logistics distribution centers serving for the specific industries and terminal users is dominated by enterprises. The Iocational differentiation between the two modes of logistics space is significant. （3） In the formation of the logistics spatial location, the government can change the traffic condition by re-planning the transport routes and freight station locations, and control the land rent and availability of different areas by increasing or decreasing the land use of logistics, to impact the enterprise behavior and form different types of logistics space and function differentiation. In comparison, logistics enterprises meet the diverse de- mands of service objects through differentiation of asset allocation to promote the specializa- tion of division and form the object differentiation of logistics space.

Research on the Mode of Efficaciously Solving “Agricultural Super-Docking” Development Difficulties in China

Constructing circulation mode of high feasibility and good implementation effect is the key method to solve difficulties in the development of “Agricultural Super-Docking” at present in China. There are many problems that exist in the process of the development of “Agricultural Super-Docking” by our analyzing from both the benefit of subjects and the whole supply chain perspectives. A large amount of relevant literature research shows that adopting the “cooperation between the government and the third party logistics enterprises to build distribution center” innovation model can solve these problems. This model can effectively remove obstacles between farmers and supermarkets. It is conducive to the development of small and medium-scale the farmer cooperatives, supermarkets and the third party logistics enterprises that don’t have a strong financial strength and a high degree of brand influence. In addition, it can also produce considerable social benefits. In order to ensure the implementation efficiency of the model to maximize, some management issues in the implementation process about the determination of core subject in supply chain, the method of evaluating the third party logistics enterprises grade, the planning of the number of customers for the distribution center, the mechanism of income distribution among multiple subjects and the implementation of relevant policies after the model into practice should be taken into account.

Research on the Construction of Agricultural Product Virtual Logistics Enterprise

With the development that the demand for agricultural products' consumer market is gradually toward to the direction of complication, the existing agricultural logistics organizational model cannot adapt to the characteristics of agricultural product logistics and the changes in the consumer demand. According to the analysis of virtual operation trend of agricultural product logistics enterprise, this paper expatiates the concept and characteristics of agricultural product virtual logistics enterprise(APVLE) and proposes four steps to build an APVLE, including the analysis of key elements about APVLE, the identification about agricultural product logistics business, the project decomposition of APVLE and the partner selection in APVLE.

An Investigation Into The Enterprise Logistics Outsourcing

Introduction The purpose of this report is to thoroughly investigate nowadays the current situation of enterprise outsourcing logistics,which keeps developing rapidly but hides lots of risks such as information distortion,cultural differences between enterprises and logistics businesses and so on.By making comparisons between enterprises of all sizes。
