Logistics and Its Role in Regional Development

Abstract

Globalization sets off new tendencies in corporate systems of which serious consequences can be observed in spatial processes. Therefore it is important for a unified system of Hungarian Logistical Servicing Centres in order to connect to international flows, thereby helping more regions access to markets. In this way the favourable effects of the TRANSEUROPEAN NETWORK Systems can be utilized, especially by decreasing geographical isolation and developing accessibility. The role of logistics can be looked at from the point of view of local dimensions as well and in this way the systematic organization of the city traffic can help to minimalize the unnecessary and polluting traffic. Logistics, then has a defining role in global competition on both local and regional levels.
