Abstract: To increase the land utility and efficiency in an airport economic zone (AEZ) and to manage the corresponding transport demands, we propose a method to determine the structure and scale of the basic airport industry cluster based on the airport scale and its relationships to industries. The correlation coefficients between industries are calculated by the strengths of the logistical and non-logistical relationships. We use the system layout planning (SLP) approach to determine the location pattern of basic industries with the objective of maximizing the correlation coefficient of a unit distance. Finally, the employees’ housing locations and service industries in the AEZ are determined using the Lowry model based on employees’ choice behaviors regarding housing and consumer services. This study is helpful for planning the development of industrial clusters and optimizing the land use patterns in an AEZ.
