Features: The book is divided into 10 chapters, covering main topics such as the overall planning of logistics parks, site selection for logistics parks, warehousing systems, transportation systems, information systems, and organizational management systems. To enhance readers' understanding, some chapters also include additional case studies and exercises. Although logistics parks have been developed in foreign countries for decades, there is still no unified definition for them to date. This is mainly due to differences in understanding and operational models of logistics parks as logistics hubs within the country, which makes it quite challenging to strictly define them. While there are certain variations in the definitions of logistics parks across countries, they generally need to clarify the following aspects: (1) Logistics parks provide all services, including transportation, logistics, and distribution; (2) The active author is the owner and lessee of logistics and related facilities; (3) They must adhere to the principle of free competition, possess complete public facilities, offer diverse transportation services, and have a single operational entity.
