E-commerce and online shopping have become more convenient due to the rapid growth of the internet logistic industry in many developed countries and are particularly popular and suitable in China. The method is primarily based on logistic points like attended collection and delivery points (ACDPs), an emerging industry for economic development. This article includes descriptive statistics, and spatial analysis to analyse the location distribution, and influencing factors of ACDPs in Nanjing City using point of interest data (POI) of Cainiao stations and China Post stations. The results show that the spatial distribution of ACDPs in Nanjing is asymmetrical, displaying a trend to the northwest direction and a difference in the trend between the S-W and N-E axes. Their layout creates four main core areas and the number of sites decreases with distance from the core. Most of the ACDPs are in urban areas and on residential and industrial land. This study provides insightful ideas for decision-makers and planners to help formulate policies that can lead to more sustainable logistic enterprises development and for the companies that want to establish successful CDP networks in big cities.

Sugarcane industry is at second position after textile industry in Pakistan. By the export of refined sugar, it plays a significant role in the economy of the country. Public and private sectors extension field staff work with sugarcane growers to improve their per acre yield. The research was conducted to compare and identify the services provided by those two sectors. A total of 150 respondents were selected randomly and interviewed to collect data through a structured interview schedule. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). It was revealed that private sector provided commodity services such as improved sugarcane seed more than the public sector. However, public sector provided agriculture machinery on subsidized basis whereas private sector did not have any of such facility but was ahead in providing the advocacy services, arranging trainings/workshops, paying farm/home visits, organizing method demonstrations and arranging agricultural fares (Kissan Mellas) for farmers due to better funding. However, Agri. Helpline calls system of public sector was found more effective.

E-commerce and online shopping have become more convenient due to the rapid growth of the internet logistic industry in many developed countries and is particularly popular and suitable in China. The method is primarily based on logistic points like attended collection and delivery points (ACDPs), an emerging industry for economic development. This article includes text analysis, descriptive statistics, and spatial analysis to analyze the operation types, service objects, location distribution, and influencing factors of ACDPs in Nanjing City using point of interest data (POI) of Cainiao stations and China Post stations. The results are as follows: 1) ACDPs have a mainly independent mode of operation, but some are reliant on supermarkets, department stores and individual shops. 2) The main service targets of ACDPs are communities, schools and townships followed by businesses, enterprises, and office buildings. 3) The spatial distribution of ACDPs in Nanjing is asymmetrical, displaying a trend to the northwest direction and a difference in the trend between the N-S and E-W axes. Their layout creates four main core areas and the number of sites decreases with distance from the core. 4) Most of the ACDPs are in urban areas and on residential and industrial land. This study provides insightful ideas for decision makers and planners to help formulate policies that can lead to more sustainable logistic enterprises development and for the companies that want to establish successful CDP networks in big cities.

For effective management of agricultural policies, the determination of current status and impact of multiple factors on the livelihood of farmers is very important. In present study, multivariate technique analysis, Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) were used to visualize the impact and estimate the influence of these factors on the earning of farmers. Therefore, 400 farmers were selected from 20 villages in Sundry district of Punjab Province in Pakistan. The results indicated that four major clusters of villages on the basis of the information collected during the survey. CCA indicates that farmers having middle age with above secondary school education, medium landholding and obtaining information using computer, audio visual aids, wall chalking and television are highly associated with high income of farming communities. Cultivation of major crops encircles wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, maize, significantly improving the living standard of the farming community rather than fruits and vegetables. Hence, it is recommended that all stakeholders, electronic media especially agricultural department and television should effectively perform their role with innovative strategies regarding agricultural crops to the educated middle age farmers for sustainable livelihood.
