Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine the main practices that shape sustainable port development in the context of Korean ports and generalize a typology of port–stakeholder decision framework for sustainable port development. First, the main practices of sustainable port development were examined through a comprehensive literature review and a holistic conceptual framework underpinned by sustainable development and stakeholder management theories. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted with 67 port managers in Korea. Lastly, FAHP was performed based on inputs from 18 port managers to analyze the priorities of the proposed sustainable port development practices. It was found that all proposed practices should be used for evaluating sustainable port development. It was also indicated that Optimized Operation Planning is the most important factor while Internal Environment Management is the least important factor perceived by Korean port managers. A typology of port–stakeholder framework for sustainable development was also generalized to assist port managers in making phased investment decisions. This research contributes to theory building by empirically identifying and validating the sustainable port development practices considering all three aspects of sustainability. It has also generalized a typology of port–stakeholder framework for sustainable development which can be used as a guideline for sustainable development decisions.

港口可持续发展的最佳实践:以韩国为例

摘要本文旨在考察韩国港口背景下塑造港口可持续发展的主要实践，并概括港口可持续发展利益相关者决策框架的类型。首先，通过全面的文献综述和以可持续发展和利益相关者管理理论为基础的整体概念框架，研究了港口可持续发展的主要实践。随后对韩国67名港口管理人员进行了半结构化访谈。最后，根据18名港口管理人员的投入进行了FAHP，以分析拟议的可持续港口发展做法的优先事项。会议发现，所有拟议的做法都应用于评估港口的可持续发展。研究还表明，韩国港口管理者认为，优化运营规划是最重要的因素，而内部环境管理是最不重要的因素。还推广了港口-利益攸关方可持续发展框架的类型，以协助港口管理者做出分阶段的投资决策。本研究通过实证识别和验证考虑可持续性所有三个方面的可持续港口发展实践，为理论建设做出了贡献。它还概括了港口利益相关者可持续发展框架的类型，可作为可持续发展决策的指导方针。
