ResumoSeki city in Gifu prefecture has been nominated by the Ministry of Construction for the first model area of the large logistics nodes linked with major highways.This paper aims to unify some possible policies concerning logistics nodes and to establish the fundamental policy package for the expected large logistics nodes in Seki city to go in the right direction.First, I have discussed that strategic logistics, logistics nodes by guided public sector, global physical distribution, and network industries as well as global environmental problems, traffic problems and labor problems and others are important related factors.Then, I surveyed 10 case studies and several proposals by think tanks concerning logistics nodes. The main theme of this paper is a proposal of 12 action principles for establishing basic directions concerning constructing logistics nodes based on the qualitative analysis.The 3 administrative conditions and the proposed 12 action principles for constructing logistics nodes are interrelated to each other as follows:The essential conditions in the narrow sense for using effectively logistics nodes by public sectors1. Offering customer services from consumers' point of view2. Offering comfortable and safe living environment3. Developing advanced management functions4. Creating better business environmentThe important conditions toward the activation of whole regional societies5. Enriching functions of advanced information base6. Enriching functions of production and research & development7. Globalization of local economy8. Securing public acceptance in the local area9. Utilizing traffic accessThe general conditions toward the development in the future10. Enriching functions of career development11. Establishing work incentive system12. Securing flexibility of planning methods
