Abstract: We initially selected 20 evaluation indicators from logistics demand and supply, and logistics informatization construction. We then screened evaluation indexes with grey correlation analysis and constructed an index system for regional urban logistics. We eventually applied factor analysis method to comprehensive evaluation for regional urban logistics. The method is applied to the comprehensive evaluation for the logistics development of Liaoning cities. Results show that the logistics development of Liaoning cities is reasonable, and that the method can provide a reference for the development of local society, economy, and geography compliant logistics strategy.

Key words: grey correlation, factor analysis, regional logistics, central cities, comprehensive evaluation
