Abstract

This study intends to make a quantitative evaluation of the location of logistic real estate from the perspective of total transportation costs on administrative districts (dong, eup and myeon) in Korea. The analysis targeted 5,002 dongs or myeons nationwide at the end of 2019, which marked a national minimum space unit. Total transportation cost, which is equal to a key factor, was calculated by the market volume and the network distance. The main findings of the study are briefly summarized as follows: First, the areas with low figures about total transportation costs were mainly concentrated on Seoul metropolitan area (SMA) including the souths of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province and Incheon. Among them, the total transportation cost in Gyeonggi province was indiscriminately distributed in each region. Second, the distribution of total transportation costs is relatively similar to locations of logistics centers with large supply, indicating that supply is efficiently arranged in the national spatial structure. In addition, according to the outcome of regression analysis having land prices as a dependent variable, total transportation costs were verified as a statistically significant factor. Third, since the supply is limited due to differences in land prices and policy operation by regions, the distribution disparity between supply volumes and total transportation costs suggested the possibility that there could be different from the characteristics for the supply of logistics markets, rental costs and owners of goods. In conclusion, these data through ArcGIS tool can be useful for decision- making in choosing optimal locations of logistic real estate within limited budget constraints for participants (e.g. policy makers, investors, landlords and tenants) in the future.
