The Study Of Improvement Of Xi'an Inland Dry Port's Transshipment Hub Function Based On "the Belt And Road" Initiative Of China

With global perspective,constructing Xi'an Land Port and making it an international transshipment inland port with modernization function is a new developing mode,which is an important move of transferring the function of coastal port to inland port,and of promoting the inland economic development and improving the transporting structure of inland,which is also an important way of involving the land to the “the Belt and Road” Initiative.Improving the transit functions of hub port and the efficiency of circulating is a major issue to be addressed in the process of developing land port of Xi'an.Based on above idea,the main purpose of this paper is to enhance the international competitiveness and transit hub function of Xi'an inland port and to provide theoretical basis for the development and construction of the inland port in Xi'an..Details are presented as follows:1)Based on the theory of developing the international transshipment land port,the necessity and feasibility of enhancing the function of the international transshipment of land port in Xi'an was studied and the development mode of Xi'an Land Port was proposed in this paper.2)Establishing evaluation index system about competitiveness,which conforms to the characteristics of Xi'an international inland port,and evaluating competitiveness of the Xi'an international inland port by applying the network analysis method based on triangular fuzzy number(Fuzzy-ANP)in order to find out the strength and weakness in the process of developing the Xi'an Land Port and to provide strong support to the development of Xi'an Land Port.3)Based on the necessity and feasibility of enhancing the function of the international transshipment of land port in Xi'an and the evaluation of the competitiveness of Xi'an international inland port,this study puts forward the following strategies to enhance the function of Xi'an international inland port:(a)Develop and support the modern service industry,stimulate the import and export trade growth;(b)Strengthen the coordination of the port sector to improve operational efficiency;(c)Improve business management reasonably,enhance the function in all-round;(d)Expand the scope of radiation to attract more sources.4)Analysis on the Operation Mechanism of the international transshipment of land port in Xi'an by Logistics Integration Field Theory.Combined with the “the Belt and Road” Initiative,this study propose the following several construction sites of Xi'an international inland port:(a)Adhere to the construct on the perspective logistics integration field;(b)Clear strategic position,highlight the role of free trade core function;(c)Improve and enhance the transfer hub function to stimulate regional trade growth;(d)Give an assistance to the construction of port industrial areas,and promote the coordinated development of regional industrial economy.Through the study of this paper,we put forward concrete suggestions for the development route and the transit hub function of Xi'an Land Port,and also provide suggestions for the improving of the competitiveness of Xi'an Land Port.The results of this study are contribute to providing scientific decision for developing the international inland port of Xi'an,and for improving the economic level of Xi'an City and even the entire western inland areas being assimilated into the“the Belt and Road”initiative of China.
