Abstract

The spatial layout of logistics enterprises can change the existing form of logistics organization and significantly affect the reshaping of the industrial spatial pattern of a region. Based on the spatial data of logistics enterprises in Urumqi City of Xinjiang, China, from 2006 to 2022, and based on the analysis of the spatiotemporal evolution of logistics enterprise locations in Urumqi, this study explores the influencing factors and spatial heterogeneity of logistics enterprise location selection using geographic detectors and multiscale geographically weighted regression and proposes development strategies to optimize the spatial layout of logistics enterprises. Research shows that: (1) Logistics enterprises in Urumqi have agglomeration distribution characteristics, presenting a spatial pattern of evolution from “one main axis, one core” to “three main cores, two secondary cores”. (2) A significant positive spillover effect occurs in developing logistics enterprises between districts in Urumqi City. (3) Among the factors influencing the location selection of logistics enterprises, the average number of logistics enterprises is 66%, the regional GDP is 48%, the population density is 49%, and the distance between logistics parks is 28%. The number of logistics enterprises and the distance between logistics parks are spatial heterogeneity factors, and their coefficients vary significantly. The regional GDP is a global variable with a positive impact, whereas population density is a global variable with a negative impact. The results expand the enterprise location theory and enrich research cases. Simultaneously, it can provide a theoretical basis and practical reference for Urumqi’s logistics industry planning and high-quality Silk Road Economic Belt commercial logistics center construction.
