Abstract: Regional logistics integration is of great significance for constructing a new pattern of domestic and international double cycle development. However, the regional logistics service capacity is unbalanced. There is a desire for researchers and policy makers to evaluate the degree of its regional logistics. Therefore, establishing reasonable indicator system for regional logistics plays an important role in the regional sustainable development. This paper uses factor analysis to establish the evaluation indicator system of regional logistics capability. Afterwards, eleven major cities in Jiangxi province China are selected for a comprehensive evaluation using the factor analysis method.The eleven cities are then ranked based on the scores and three tiers are accordingly classified. Based on these results, sustainable development policies for Jiangxi province to improve its regional logistics sustainability are proposed.
