Özet

In a globalizing world, economic parameters are in line with the competitiveness of countries in every field. The foreign trade activities of the countries are at the top of these parameters. Foreign trade activities are provided through the entry points of foreign countries. These entry points should be supplied with a certain discipline. This is only possible with logistics centers. Therefore, logistics center location selection is very important. Although there are many parameters in the logistics center location selection, transportation networks are the most important parameters to be emphasized. The effect of transportation networks in the logistics center location selection, which is the subject of this study, has been evaluated specifically for the Kemalpasa logistics center, which is being established within the borders of Izmir province. In this study, the literature review on transportation modes for logistics centers was taken into consideration and transportation networks for Kemalpasa logistics center were examined and future provisions were introduced.
