Research On The Evolution Of Complex Networks Of Northeast Asia Ports Group

As of now, ports are considered as significant facilities in international business and critical nodes in transportation logistic network. It plays a unique role in economy ranging from a coastal city even to a country. Accompanying with the advance of economy globalization and concentration of regional economy, ports alliance and ports union are deemed as a must trend in the global ports. Accordingly, it produced an academic research regarding to the development of ports union. The present situation upon this academic issue is just focusing on the evolution of ports nodes under the time axle, while the shipping industry had did nothing on fabricating a network of ports nodes. This thesis is concentrating on the evolution of scale and association of ports nodes according to the complex network theory.This thesis had made network evolution of ports nodes research relying on northeast Asia ports group. Initially, analysis regarding to complex ports group network is made basing on the current situation of construction of ports group and theory of complex network. Besides, a picture related to northeast Asia ports group network is drawn by UCINET. accordingly, we can made a conclusion that ports in northeast Asia maintained a relatively closer relationship but with a "non-sequence" feature. Afterwards, a study on factors influenced in evolution of ports network was performed, with reference to stimulation of northeast Asia ports group considering the ports distance and nodes attraction. And then, we made a comparison between the stimulation and the current ports structure model and figured out that the simulation we made is effective and practical with little defects. Finally, a bold prediction regarding to evolution of northeast Asia ports group network is made, among the prediction the writer highlighted the response measures for Chinese ports from network view.
