Abstract

Greece is a country with a unique morphology. Having an extensive coastline and thousands of islands, the rise of the touristic industry is significant. The recent economic crisis as well as the increased infrastructure construction costs on the islands, created the urge to develop alternative and innovative transport systems. The seaplane, a modern, eco-friendly mode, allows effortless and quick connection between ports and airports from all over the country and distant coastal areas and islands. Seaplanes can be used by both residents and visitors or/and carry shipments. The research presented herein focuses on the development of a methodological framework for the evaluation of different areas for water aerodrome allocation, initially among different islands. Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) was selected among the large spectrum of existing evaluation methods, because it was considered to be the most suitable approach as it gives the opportunity to use diverse criteria, both quantitative and qualitative. Significant criteria include the distance between the origin waterdrome location and protected natural areas, wave and wind data of each area, the operational cost of seaplanes and the number of passenger arrivals and departures. Weights are accorded to the criteria based on experts' opinion and applying goal programming approach. The evaluation of the alternatives takes place with the aid of the PROMETHEE method. The suggested approach is then implemented through a case study; the investigation of the potential connection of Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece and a transportation hub for the southeastern Europe and the Balkans, with the Cyclades islands, in South Aegean Region.
基于PROMETHEE和目标规划法的水上机场连接评价
希腊是一个有着独特形态的国家。拥有广阔的海岸线和数千个岛屿,旅游业的崛起意义重大。最近的经济危机以及岛屿上基础设施建设成本的增加,促使人们迫切需要开发替代和创新的运输系统。水上飞机是一种现代化的环保模式,可以轻松快捷地连接全国各地的港口和机场以及遥远的沿海地区和岛屿。水上飞机可以供居民和游客使用,也可以运载货物。本文提出的研究重点是开发一种方法框架,用于评估不同地区的水上机场分配,最初是在不同的岛屿之间。多标准决策分析(MCDA)在现有的大量评估方法中被选中,因为它被认为是最合适的方法,因为它提供了使用定量和定性不同标准的机会。重要的标准包括原水源地与受保护自然区域之间的距离、每个区域的波浪和风力数据、水上飞机的运营成本以及到达和离开的旅客人数。根据专家意见,运用目标规划方法对各指标进行权重分配。在PROMETHEE方法的帮助下对备选方案进行评估。然后通过案例研究实施建议的方法;塞萨洛尼基是希腊第二大城市,也是东南欧和巴尔干半岛的交通枢纽,它与南爱琴海地区的基克拉迪群岛之间的潜在联系正在进行调查。
