Abstract

International airports are among the most crucial transportation hubs, especially in island regions or countries. They serve not only as logistics centers but also as key infrastructure for international travel and trade. In Taiwan, Taoyuan International Airport is the largest and most significant international gateway, handling over 44.7 million passengers in 2024 and serving as a strategic hub for both passenger and cargo transportation. Given its pivotal role, the sustainable development and risk resilience of Taoyuan International Airport are essential to maintaining the stability and competitiveness of the national transportation system. This study proposes a comprehensive assessment framework tailored for international airports, with a case application to Taoyuan International Airport. The framework captures multiple aspects of airport performance, including economic efficiency, environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and operational risk preparedness, and incorporates 12 core evaluation criteria. To analyze the interrelationships among these criteria and determine their relative influence, an Interval Fermatean Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory-based Analytic Network Process (IFF-DANP) model is introduced. This model integrates the Group Judgment Integration Technique (GJIT), Fermatean Fuzzy Sets (FFs), and DEMATEL-based ANP to effectively handle uncertainty and consolidate expert evaluations. Comparative analyses with other methods confirm the robustness and comprehensiveness of the proposed approach. Results indicate that “Airport Resilience and Risk Control Strategies” is the most critical criterion overall. Additionally, key drivers within the framework include “Operational Cost Rationality Management,” “Smart Response Management,” “Enhancing Transport Facility Inclusivity,” and “Enhancing Digital Innovation and Staff Training.” The insights gained offer practical guidance for airport managers and policymakers aiming to enhance sustainability and resilience in complex operational environments.

区间值Fermatean模糊MCDM网络分析的机场可持续性及风险评价

国际机场是最重要的交通枢纽之一，尤其是在岛屿地区或国家。它们不仅是物流中心，也是国际旅游和贸易的关键基础设施。在台湾，桃园国际机场是最大和最重要的国际门户，2024年接待旅客超过4470万人次，是客货运输的战略枢纽。鉴于桃园国际机场的关键作用，其可持续发展和风险抵御能力对于维持国家运输系统的稳定性和竞争力至关重要。本研究以桃园国际机场为例，提出一套适合国际机场的综合评估架构。该框架涵盖了机场绩效的多个方面，包括经济效率、环境管理、社会责任和运营风险准备，并纳入了12项核心评估标准。为了分析这些准则之间的相互关系，确定它们之间的相对影响，引入了基于区间费马特模糊决策试验与评价实验室的分析网络过程（IFF-DANP）模型。该模型集成了群体判断集成技术（GJIT）、Fermatean模糊集（FFs）和基于dematel的ANP，有效地处理了不确定性并整合了专家评价。与其他方法的比较分析证实了该方法的鲁棒性和全面性。结果表明，“机场弹性和风险控制策略”是最关键的标准。此外，框架内的关键驱动因素包括“运营成本合理性管理”、“智能响应管理”、“增强交通设施包容性”和“加强数字创新和员工培训”。所获得的见解为机场管理者和政策制定者提供了实用指导，旨在提高复杂运营环境中的可持续性和弹性。

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
