PUBLICLY-GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCHES OF TRANSPORT- LOGISTIC NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS
Among the issues of the day of economic and social development of countries an important place is occupied by the problems of forming of transport-logistic networks and systems, as effective and concerted work of a transport system and modern logistic organization of commodity streams is motive force for socio-economic development of the state. Transport networks (transport lines and knots) are examined as an inalienable link of logistic chain of motion of commodity. Functional cooperation and spatial relations that is set as a result of realization of logistic projects from advancement of commodities on the basis of an existent transport structure of lines and knots (networks) form transport-logistic networks and systems. Research aim - to consider theoretical and methodological bases of publicly-geographical researches of transport-logistic networks and systems. A research object is transport- logistic networks and systems. The article of research is features of forming, functioning and territorial organization of transport-logistic structure of lines and knots (networks) and systems. A theoretical value is generalization of theoretical experience and development of concept-category vehicle of publicly-geographical researches of transport-logistic networks and systems. A practical value is development of methodological principles and methodical approaches of publicly-geographical researches of transport-logistic networks and systems.The article is sanctified to the features of forming of the territorial transport-logistic systems and network territorial organization of transport-logistic activity. Given historical review of becoming and development of geography of transport, publicly-geographical researches of logistic and transport logistic. Considered principles of network and system organization of transport-logistic activity.
