Comparison and Inspiration of Inland Port Location Layout from the Perspective of Regional Differences:A Quantitative Analysis of International Literature based on CiteSpace
This paper adopts the bibliometric method to systematically review the international literature on the location layout of dry ports from 2003 to 2023.The results show that the number of this research field has increased significantly under the influence of economic globalization and intensified international competition,and it is mainly divided into four research stages.The research countries have changed from the early developed countries dominated by Europe and America to the developing countries in Asia dominated by China;The main research disciplines have changed from the traditional economics,transportation and geography to the interdisciplinary integration of urban research.The research focuses on the concept of inland port,the geographical location of location layout,and the influence of traffic network.By comparing the differences in the location layout of inland ports in different regions,this paper argues that the location layout of inland ports should not only consider construction and transportation costs from the perspective of economic performance at present,but also consider environmental impact and sustainable development in the future.
