Measuring accessibility and equity of rural logistics terminal facilities in China
The optimal allocation and scientific management of rural logistics resources is the key to unblock the domestic transportation cycle,and it is also the focus of the construction of a powerful transportation country and the integration of urban and rural transportation.From two perspectives of driving and walking,this study constructs a research framework for the evaluation of rural logistics terminal distribution with accessibility and equity.This study analyzes the accessibility of 440000 administrative villages in China and their nearest rural logistics terminal facilities.By using the online map tool,this study reveals the spatial distribution pattern and regional differences of rural logistics terminal facilities,and evaluates the spatial equity of rural logistics terminal facilities at the county level with Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients.The results show that:(1)Accessibility of rural logistics terminal facilities presents significant regional difference,and it declines from the coast to the interior,which is consistent with the socio-economic development pattern in China.(2)Accessibility of logistics terminal facilities presents significant urban-rural differences.According to the comparative analysis of travel distance,travel time,and travel modes,the urban-rural differences have been widened on travel time and by walking.(3)Based on the analysis with rural population distribution,the distribution of rural logistics terminal facilities presents the transport-related exclusion.The above findings can provide scientific support for the scientific layout of rural logistics terminal facilities so that we could promote the people-oriented integrated development of urban and rural transportation,and assist rural revitalization,so as to achieve common prosperity.
