摘要

陆港建设促进了进出口通道的多式联运，尤其是对内陆国家而言。选择陆港的最佳位置是国家规划的重要组成部分。本研究采用多标准决策（MCDM）与地理信息系统（GIS）相结合的方法来绘制陆港的合适选址图。从文献中确定了选择最佳陆港地点的基本标准，并使用简单多属性排序技术 (SMART) 对这些标准进行专家加权。结果显示，与公路的距离和与铁路的距离是两个最重要的标准，而与海港的距离则是最不重要的标准。应用该方法确定埃塞俄比亚最佳陆港位置的结果表明，埃塞俄比亚大部分领土都适于建设陆港。不过，该地区现有的大多数陆港都位于非常适合的区域内。总之，本研究绘制的适宜性地图为未来可持续陆港投资提供了丰富的信息基础。

GIS based multi-criteria decision-making approach for dry port location analysis: The case of Ethiopia

Dry port construction facilitates intermodal freight transport in the import and export corridors, especially for landlocked countries. Selecting the optimal locations for dry ports is a crucial component of national planning. In this study, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) combined with GIS was used to map suitable sites for dry ports. Essential criteria for selecting optimum dry port locations were identified from the literature and a Simple Multi-Attribute Ranking Technique (SMART) was used for expert weighting these criteria. The results revealed that distance from road and distance from railway are the two most important criteria, while distance from a seaport is the least important. Application of the method to identify optimal dry port locations in Ethiopia showed that most of its territory is moderately suitable for dry port location. However, most of the existing dry ports in the region are found to lie within the highly suitable areas. Overall, the suitability map developed in this study provides a rich basis of information for future sustainable dry port investments.

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
