Abstract: With the process of globalization,the competition among the ports,shipping lines and terminal operators to attain more container traffic has been intense.To obtain more container traffic,some ports have been making a great effort to be a logistic hub to increase their competitive advantage.Under the circumstances,port backup area has attracted much attention in recent years as an important function area.Based on the current development of various types of port backup function area,this paper puts emphasis on the perspective of coupled pattern and process,viewing various types of port backup area as a whole,and discusses the theory of formation and evolution mechanism.The authors hold that global supply chain and evolution of port function,external scale economy and enterprise cooperation promotion,port economy of scale and periphery challenge,regional transportation network layout,resource endowment and needs and policy guidance of urban development are the important driving forces to promote the evolution of port backup area.Meanwhile,the authors believe that evolution of port backup area can be classified into four stages,namely,the period of initial development,the period of unbalanced development,the period of rapid unbalanced expansion and the period of highly differentiated development.According to this model,there are different features in each stage.The empirical analysis shows that,Shanghai port backup area is in the evolution transition period from rapid unbalanced expansion to highly differentiated development.In the next period of time,the evolution will enter the stage of highly differentiated development.
