Abstract

This study quantitatively evaluates the dual operational-environmental performance of the ports in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in China. Factor analysis is first applied to identify the common factors for comprehensively ranking the level of dual operational-environmental performance of each port. Environmental treatment, port conditions and development potential are identified as the common factors. The Port of Shenzhen is found to have the best performance in environmental treatment and development potential, while the Port of Guangzhou has the best fundamental conditions. Cluster analysis is then applied to compare the clusters of ports in the PRD region with and without 'green' elements. It is found that small and medium-sized ports need to respond the call of Chinese Government on provincial-level unified port platform to realise dual operational-environmental performance.

珠江三角洲港口营运与环境双重绩效的定量评估

本研究对中国珠江三角洲地区港口的双重运营-环境绩效进行了定量评价。首先运用因子分析法，确定各港口运营环境双绩效水平综合排名的共同因素。环境处理、港口条件和发展潜力被确定为共同因素。其中，深圳港在环境治理和发展潜力方面表现最好，而广州港的基础条件最好。然后应用聚类分析来比较珠三角地区有和没有“绿色”元素的港口集群。研究发现，中小港口需要响应中国政府对省级统一港口平台的号召，实现运营与环境的双重绩效。

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.
