Abstract: In the 21st century, the hubandspoke logistic network, which should be a reasonable and highly efficient spatial system, will be of supportive value in the development of an open economical system. It is thus necessary to consider the riverside area along the Yangtze River in Anhui Province for the construction of hubandspoke logistic mode. Based on the survey on hubandspoke logistic modes at home and abroad, this paper explains the competitive superiority and negative impact of hubandspoke logistic mode. By selecting ten indexes and using R type factor analysis, this paper calculates logistic central indexes of 41 central towns and chooses Hefei, Wuhu and Anqing as logistic centers in the riverside area in Anhui Province. At last, this paper constructs main routes and lateral routes according to three hubs and three principles, thus forming hubandspoke logistic network for central towns in the riverside area of the Yangtze in Anhui Province.

Key words: hubandspoke, logistic network, the riverside area of Yangtze, Anhui Province
