How　to　choose　the　location　for　dry　port　is　a　practical　problem,　which　becomes　more　and　more　important.　In　this　paper,　taking　the　hinterland　of　Western　Side　of　the　Taiwan　Straits　Port　Group　as　a　case　studied,　we　use　Fuzzy　Clustering　to　rank　alternatives　in　order　to　lay　out　the　optimal　location　of　dry　port.　After　studied　in　the　situation　of　regional　economy　and　transportation,　firstly　an　evaluation　index　including　factors　that　influence　the　dry　port　is　set　up,　and　secondly　Fuzzy　Cluster　Analysis　is　used　to　select　and　rank　the　candidate　locations,　finally　three　grades　of　locations　are　classified　and　each　one　requires　different　construction　strategy.　This　paper　provides　a　method　to　optimize　the　location　of　dry　port,　and　these　results　are　helpful　for　accelerate　the　development　of　both　seaports　and　dry　ports.　©　2010　IEEE.
