Abstract

Cruise ports, as a component of the cruise industry, are strategic transportation infrastructures being the economic contribution they provide to the region. Understanding how and why ships are called at ports is remarkable for researchers, port-operators, and regional decision-makers. In this paper, a comparative model was proposed for the analysis of factors affecting cruise port ranking by ship arrivals. To apply the model, nine ports in the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey were analysed with geographic, physical, and operational factors. Methods such as ranking, correlation, and hierarchical clustering were used. A strong correlation was found between the average ranking by eight-factors and the ranking by ship arrivals (ρ = 0.84, p-value < 0.05). Empirical results showed competitive ports, created a cluster (Kusadasi, Izmir, Bodrum) have longer berthing length, shorter sea-distance, and less artificialisation. Application of the model provided statistically reliable and empirically efficient results that guide researchers and practitioners.

建立一个模型，分析影响邮轮港口按到达船只排名的因素

邮轮港口作为邮轮产业的一个组成部分，是战略性的交通基础设施，为该地区提供了经济贡献。了解船舶停靠港口的方式和原因对研究人员、港口运营商和地区决策者来说意义非凡。本文提出了一个比较模型，用于分析邮轮港口按船舶到达量排序的影响因素。为了应用该模型，对土耳其爱琴海和地中海沿岸的9个港口进行了地理、物理和操作因素分析。采用排序、关联、分层聚类等方法。8个因素的平均排名与船舶到达排名之间有很强的相关性(ρ = 0.84, p值< 0.05)。实证结果表明，形成集群的竞争性港口(库萨达西、伊兹密尔、博德鲁姆)泊位长度更长，海上距离更短，人工化程度更低。该模型的应用提供了统计可靠和经验有效的结果，指导研究人员和从业者。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
