Ports constructed several decades ago are unable to accommodate the rapid economic growth and urbanization in China. Most of the ports have been built within the cities. As a result, it is difficult for the ports to expand due to constraints of space, and many Chinese seaport cities have to completely or partly move the ports out of the cities. The relocation of the ports will certainly change the urban land use patterns, especially those around the old and new port areas. This study proposes an industrial location model, which simulates the location behaviors of the port-related industries in terms of transport accessibility, land price, aggregated degree of similar and relevant companies, and abundance of service facilities. A case study is illustrated for application of the model using the Dalian Port as an example.
