Potential effects of logistics clusters: The case of Turkish Freight Villages [PDF]
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019 Abstract Freight Villages (FV) are logistics clusters in which all activities related with freight transportation are realized. Various operators conduct business under one roof in FVs. Coordination and collaboration are the essential part for creating harmony to achieve sustainability. The establishment of such facilities in Turkey has been realized
