【正文】 to 46％ of China ’s total a nual sales in retailing． On top of that． the annual sale of WAIMART is on the increase by US$20—30 billion dollars a year． Domestically， the annual sale of our leading retailer， Shanghai Unilever， is simply 11 billion RMB． accounting for about 7％ of Mart． From the above statistics， it’s by no means difficult for one to find out that distant gap of logistics industries exists between China and developed countries． Of course， on the contrary， the statistics also tell us that there are great development potential and space regarding logistics industry in problems， some of which even ale the bottlenecks of China’s modern logistics， are available in the course of development． Great importance to these problems should be attached， which are worthy of the concern and study of logistics staff. Available primary problems Unbalanced development between western and developed regions including the east， the south and costal areas China’s logistics industry is at the initial stage． In most occasions， what we mean by the socalled logistics actually refers to the narrow sense of logistics： elementary functions such as transportation or storage． Real modern logistics has been focused and developed only in a few paratively developed regions in the east and the south while logistics development is still far from mencing in vast regions of mid， western and remote regions． Even in the developed regions of eastern China，southern China and costal and costal areas， the level of socialization an d the adoption 4 / 16 of market principles are fairly low． According to the data， the physical distributions owned by domestic enterprises account for 60％ to 70％ of the total market scale． Shortage in logistics demand hampers the development of logistics industry in China and thus limits its development. 2． 2 Disordered and rough planning for logistics Logistics park is a special center of one or more than one logistics enterprises(or distribution centers)． By operating logistics park， scale can be formed and operation cost reduced． The construction of logistics park is expected to play a positive role in urban freight traffic， urban ecology environment and urban land planning． However， the planning of China’s logistics parks are mostly conducted by local ， numbers of local authorities haven’t been clear about the interior meaning of logistics industry． Instead， they mistakenly take it for granted that logistics could anyhow revive economy． As a result, nuinerous regions rush into the planning an d construction of various logistics circles， parks or centers． Nowadays many logistics parks are at the stages of planning and primary construction， neither link to the planning of next higher level， nor connect to the surrounding areas， nor conduct sufficient research and survey of the local economic situation, microeconomic orientation and freight traffic flow． These logistics parks take on disadvantages， strong bureaucracy ， unimpressive market response and inadequate flow of population and logistics， which prevents the from going into virtuous cycles as well as leads them to be the heavy burdens of governments． Obviously， the operation of logistics parks hasn’t followed principles of science and has breached our original intention of developing logistics industry． In fact， logistics industry falls under the category of tertiary industry， the functions of which should be providing service for certain trades in primary an d secondary industries． The profits of logistics industry mainly derive from service targets． Secondly， logistics industry is the one with nalTOW margin of profit that considerable profits could be gamed tlugh nothing else but scale operation． Therefore， logistics acts merely as the pillars for industries． Only on the basis of favorable primary and secondary industries, or with the intentions to reinforce the development of primary and secondary industries， logistics industry can be developed． Any planning and construction of regional logistics circles， parks or centers in any places must be argued and studied rigidly in accordance with scientific principles. The construction proportions of logistics places should be distributed according to economic regions whereas by no means according to administrative ones． Otherwise great deal of redundant project construction will be very likely and therefore result in wasting of resources． Apart from that， quite a few of domestic regions carried through pretty abstract and rough logistics planning． For instance， some regions seldom take the construction of regional logistic information platform into account when they plan logistics parks． Some other regions take the construction of platform into account， but they merely consider its planning and designing， rarely thinking over its construction and application． In other words， the construction on logistics information platform is in short of operability． 2． 3 Outdated logistics technology 5 / 16 Although China， in a short term， has made great achievements that attract the attention of the world in terms of logistics industry and techniques， one has to admit that China is still left far behind world leading countries and as a whole， our logistics technology is outdated． To sum up， the disadvantage is mainly embodied as the following respects： Distribution and delivery facilities A significant orientation of logistics development is thirdparty logistics， of which freight distribution and delivery are essential ponents． Presently advanced foreign facilities of logistics distribution and delivery have reached the level of full automatization． A good example is a Japanese logistics center known as “White Bird” of Sanli Zhiguo Company． The center has an occupation of land of 4208 m ,a total area of 2774 squa
