Research on the Evolution of Arctic Route System from the Perspective of Complex Adaptive System
The melting of Arctic sea ice has made the study of Arctic routes more and more con-cerned.It should be seen that the problems of the Arctic routes are comprehensive and need to be studied from the perspective of system integrity.This first proposed the concept of the Arctic route system and de-fined the spatial extent of the Arctic route system.Secondly,the complex adaptability of the Arctic route system is analyzed.Then,the evolution of the Arctic airline system is also discussed.The results are shown as follows.(1)2007-2016 is the formation phase of the Arctic route aggregates.At this stage,the country is the leader of the Arctic route system,and other entities have less participation.(2)The period from 2017 to the present is the growth phase of Arctic route aggregates,and this phase will contin-ue for a long time.At this stage,more cargo owners,shipping companies,ports,and land transportation line entities joined the aggregate,the size of the Arctic route aggregates increased and the number in-creased.(3)In the future,the emergence of the Arctic route aggregatesandthe formation of aggregate net-works of various spatial aggregateswill bring about diversified characteristics of the system.
