Connotation Analysis Of Urban Logistics

　　 City Logistics The term "city" refers to what category, which is very important for the definition of the concept of urban logistics. There are many definitions of the city at all times and in all over the world, and the city is expounded from the aspects of society, economy, politics, geography, ecology, military affairs and administration. For example, from an administrative point of view, Beijing refers to the administrative area under the jurisdiction of Beijing. Besides Beijing, it also includes the outer suburbs and counties, which are obviously different from those in the economic sense. From the macro perspective, logistics is mainly about the logistics industry itself and the problem of resource allocation and efficiency improvement in the social and economic development of the logistics industry. Therefore, cities in urban logistics should adopt cities in economic sense. Definition 。

In the German Ideology, Marx and Engels said: "the city itself shows the concentration of population, production tools, capital, enjoyment and demand." This shows that from the economic point of view, the city is the concentrated place of industry, commerce and credit, reflecting the concentration of housing, production, consumption and capital. This kind of concentrated expression is in the logistics service, it requires that in the relative space, a large amount of living materials, production materials, office supplies and large quantities of products and waste products need to flow out. Therefore, our definition of urban logistics is as follows: urban logistics is a regional logistics activity relying on cities, which is the logistics planning and logistics operation, including macro and micro level logistics activities within the city, between urban and rural areas, and between cities.

From the point of view of the proportion of logistics activities between cities, between urban and rural areas and between cities, the logistics activities within cities are the main contents of urban logistics. The logistics activities within cities are carried out by specialized logistics organizations such as logistics parks and distribution centers, which are mainly based on express delivery and distribution, and the flow of materials is short, short, large and varied. With the emergence of large scale production, demotion of urban and rural boundaries, frequent exchanges between cities and cities, and the expansion of urban scale, the demand for production in cities has decreased, and the demand for logistics has gradually shifted to living demand and office demand. Urban logistics has also become a relative category of urban and rural areas. Logistics between cities has gradually become one of the main ways of urban logistics, and the internal logistics area and scale of cities are expanding. {page_break}

Urban logistics involves many fields such as production, consumption, finance and so on, mainly for optimizing the allocation of resources and reducing costs and improving efficiency. Therefore, urban logistics discipline belongs to the category of economics. The research contents of urban logistics should include two levels: macro and micro. The macro level urban logistics is mainly about the overall research of urban logistics. Theoretically, there should be a general theory of urban logistics, which mainly defines the basic concepts, basic theories, research scope and research methods of urban logistics. In practice, urban logistics regional planning should be carried out, that is, planning and layout of urban logistics and related industries and regions from the overall situation of urban areas. The micro level is mainly to study the management level of urban logistics, including the study of urban logistics organization, such as the operation and management of urban logistics park and logistics center, including the research of urban logistics industry, such as grain logistics, automobile logistics, coal fuel and other energy logistics, including the development and effective utilization of urban logistics means, such as urban distribution and positioning technology, special vehicles such as distribution vehicles, including urban logistics mode research, such as optimization of express delivery, distribution, policy support, etc.

Urban logistics research must be based on solving major practical problems, such as the lack of theoretical and methodological support for urban logistics planning at present, complicated circulation links, large logistics costs and low circulation efficiency. There is still a big gap between the application level of information technology and network technology, the standards of logistics equipment are not uniform, the matching of supporting facilities is poor, and the system optimization is poor. The dilution of urban and rural boundaries and the clustering of cities will make urban logistics form a cluster and network among several cities, so that the logistics layout between cities will be networked.

In solving the major practical problems of urban logistics, the government should update its policies and play a leading role in the industry. Both in logistics planning and operation practice, in the exploration of logistics theory and in the combination of the two, policies and tendentiousness should be supported; colleges and universities should explore new frontiers and carry out theoretical innovation. The theoretical research of colleges and universities must be combined with the practice of social logistics to provide methods and means for solving practical problems and participate in the whole process of solving problems as far as possible. At the same time, colleges and universities also need to provide intelligence and talents for the future development of urban logistics.
