공간 속성이 지역별 창고면적 수요에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구

Abstract

The overpopulation in urban areas and the rapid increase in freight volume cause various social and environmental problems, and at the same time require more complex distribution networks and logistics facilities locating. In South Korea, demand for logistics facilities have also increased along with the explosive growth of the e-commerce industry since the mid-1990s, but there have not yet been many studies analyzing the demand so far, and in particular, only few studies focus on regional differences in demand for logistics facilities. Therefore, this study collected the national warehouse data registered until 2017, visualized the distribution pattern of the gross warehouse space, and investigated whether the warehouse demand really differs by region. As a result, warehouses were actually distributed differently by region and were concentrated in specific regions. Accordingly, this study explored socioeconomic, geographic, and industrial factors that explain the different warehouse demands for 225 administrative districts nationwide, measured the distance-based impact among 225 administrative districts, applied weights into the variables for regression analysis. The results showed that the coefficients and those signs are more statistically reliable in the model using the distance-based weights compared to the model with non-weighted variables, and 5 of the total 6 variables were found to be significant.
