INFLUENCE OF CITY’S ON LOGISTICS
Production delivery in the consumption sphere is one of
the important trade functions that take place in the commercial companies.
Rational management is important in goods distribution processes. Logistics tools are effecting on distribution channel delivery mechanism
choice for different regions. The sales channels choice is one of the key
decisions for the company.
Economic relations
largely formed under conditions of uncertainty and instability of the
environment requires highly efficient management methods and logistics
activities. The traditional concept of management is not excusing itself. The constant increasing demands for logistics
services expand markets lead to the need to take account of external logistics
environment. Logistics activities in servicing various cities in the current
market conditions, poorly studied. Not enough parameters the influence of the
city on technology logistics services. Insufficient determination efficiency of
various technologies logistic service while servicing various cities. Thus, the
lack of unequivocal scientific and theoretical basis and appropriate practical
developments determined the choice of the theme of dissertation research and
its relevance. Paper is
aimed to improving the efficiency of retail logistics service network within
the parameters of the city.
The challenge in
product’s markets is carried out by different aspects.
Logistics is no exception, it chose the best way to
bring product - material flow from the suppler to client, with minimal price,
time and maximum service level. According to the analysis
of references, to the logistics put different
objectives and criteria for its
implementation. Other side of the logistics service is to get maximum
own profit or other tasks which management set.
Analysis of the sources of literature defines a large
number of options the city, including the main can be considered [1-4]:
city area, the population, the radius of the city, the level of
Automobilization, the density of the road network, circuit city transport
planning. Consider them more. One of the main parameters is the city
population. It affects the amount of territory planning structure, quantity and
quality of life institutions, transport and engineering equipment, and others.
An important
criterion for classification of a settlement to the status of the city is a
population that is determined by:
- Small city: up to
10 thousand. - 50 thousand people;
- Medium: 50 - 250
thousand people;
- Big: 250 - 500
thousand people;
- Significant
(large): 500 - 1000 thousand people;
- The most
significant (the largest): over 1000 thousand people.
Analysis of the
sources of references defines eight fundamental geometrical schemes covering
the diversity of urban planning structures [1-3]. Schematic representation of urban
planning structures is presented in Table. 1.

It should be noted
that in its pure form all the above schemes street network in modern major
cities are small.
The density of the
road network of the city is the ratio of the total length of the road network
to the area of the city served. Too high density network has drawbacks, such as
significant investments in network construction, major maintenance costs for
its maintenance and low speed because of frequent traffic intersections. Under
the current town-planning regulations mean density of transport networks in
cities located within 1.0 - 2.5 km / km2
The city area is the
area bounded by the city limits, measured in square units. Area of the city,
according to studies, affects the rate of dislocation density of consumers, and
thus the distance between adjacent points.
According to the
definition of the area, the city radius is the distance from the city center to
the specified anywhere in the city. The radius of the city largely influences
the speed connections. In this regard, is the value recommended speeds
depending on the radius of the city (tab. 1.2) [14]. Recommendations in tab. 2 it is advisable to expand all cities with a population over 10 000 People.

Logistics system is
inextricably linked with the
principles of urban planning
and forecasting. Solving problems Logistics
system has to obtain considering the parameters of the
city. Therefore, it is possible
to trace the influence of city
planning structure parameters of logistics channels.
Using the methods and models for logistics tasks of
logistics channels should be considered at different levels: continent, state,
region, area, city, district and others. The system of distribution for each
region should be in service in various aspects of operation: logistics,
economic, marketing and decided at all levels of government. Mechanisms of
logistics channels to promote individual material flow must be provided at the
design stage and project identification. Managing logistics channels in the
operation, carried out the impact on their properties. The indicators that can
characterize the results of the channel may include: adjusted net income,
payback period of the formation of the distribution channel, the capacity of
the logistics channel power margin of logistics channel.
