Analysis of Port Hinterland of China's New Western Land-Sea Corridor
With the support of infrastructure geospatial data and OD traffic big data under multiple modes of transportation,the spatial pattern of the potential hinterland and the real hinterland of the main ports of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor is identified,and the spatial matching relationship between the two types of hinterland is evaluated.The results show that:(1)The scope of the two types of hinterlands of the major ports of the New West-ern Land-Sea Corridor is roughly the same,and there are differences in the spatial distribution of competitiveness within the hinterland;(2)The potential hinterland coverage of the major ports of the New Western Land-Sea Corri-dor is wide but the competitiveness is weak.The corridor has more attractive potential for freight with a higher value of time;(3)The real hinterland coverage of major ports in the New Western Land-Sea Corridor has significant differences between modes,with highway hinterland being adjacent to ports and railway hinterland being separated from ports;(4)The quality of transportation infrastructure and the level of transportation services are important fac-tors affecting the matching relationship between the two types of hinterlands.The lack of large-capacity transporta-tion infrastructure leads to weak transportation supply capabilities in Guangxi and the west side of the corridor.The lack of competitiveness of trains restricts the share of corridor transportation in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions.In the future,the supply and demand matching of the construction of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor should be improved,and the construction of the China-Myanmar Indian Ocean New Corridor should be expanded to further ensure the supply security of my country's overseas strategic key resources.
