Abstract
Urban logistics plays an important role in competitive markets. However, this activity has negative repercussions on urban life if it is not planned in a systematic way. For the best effective solutions, it’s imperative to assess the opinions of all stakeholders associated with urban logistics. In this research, perceptions of all stakeholders on different urban logistics policies have been gathered and quantified. To analyse the perceived level of efficiency of each stakeholder for a given policy or practice, a survey research methodology was adopted to assess and test the perceptions of stakeholders. Through literature review and survey analysis, it is clear that a few policies have a high level of efficiency for a specific stakeholder but can have contrasting effects on another set of stakeholders. This further establishes the need to engage stakeholders to collectively improve urban logistics planning. The findings of this paper will help administration personnel to understand the perspective of all stakeholders and take everyone's views into account before coming up with a new policy. Furthermore, the research is a part of efforts to improve the type of urban logistics policies implemented by the local authorities.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
