Abstract

Nowadays logistics industry in China is largely based on the infrastructures, logistics networks and economy level. Jiangxi province is the unique province closest to the three deltas, i.e. Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Strait West Coast Economic Zone in China. According to the 12th five-year plan Jiangxi province will start to boom the logistics industry especially the logistics networks. This paper develops a model for the hierarchy design of logistics network in Jiangxi province based on factor analysis. Qualitative and quantitative indexes are introduced to evaluate the regional logistics network system. Results show that 11 municipal cities in Jiangxi province can be divided into three hierarchies: Nanchang city is the core hub, Jiujiang city and the other three cities are categorized into the second key hub, and Yingtan city, etc., are categorized into the third auxiliary hub. Finally some suggestions are given to the operation of these three kinds of hubs.
