Abstract

The authors have constructed an indicator system for evaluating the level of regional logistics development from six dimensions, including regional economy, regional logistics demand and regional logistics economy, and employed the entropy weight method (EWM) to construct a model for comprehensively measuring regional logistics development, followed by an empirical analysis of the level of logistics development in nine major cities of Fujian Province as of 2018. The results reveal that there are still significant differences in the level of logistics development among the nine major cities of Fujian Province, highlighting the pressing need for local governments to turn the spotlight on promoting balanced regional development of the logistics industry.
